MC should play these files if you have installed the version of QuickTime that comes with iTunes.

[bjsolem]

I listen to Itunes tracks all the time.  They sound fine.  And now with MC10 they show up with track info as well.

They don't seem to find the album art though.

QuickTime 6.4 or later should permit MC to playback AAC. You do not necessarily have to install iTunes.

DSP doesn't work with AAC files encoded with Nero.  

I like to use the equaliser as I can get a fuller sound. Doesn't work with my AAC files, so no matter how good the encoder is the AAC files don't sound good in MC

Three words...

burn and rip

(CD-RW handles this nicely)

Sorry mate, you're three words have confused me ?

Burn what ?

[loraan]

1. Burn the AAC file to a CD in iTunes.
2. Close iTunes and open MC.
3. In MC, rip the CD. Encode the music to whatever format you want.
4. Use equalizer, etc... on the new format.

Sadly, this solution might require you to have two libararies--one with AAC files and one with MP3 or WMA. Unless, of course, you decide to just convert all your AAC files as soon as you download them, which might not be a bad idea considering that you'll thereby defeat all of the DRM on the files and be able to burn them and transfer them as much as you want.

Well, regarding the burn and ripp process, if you could use Nero to burn the disc rather than Itunes, then you could simply make a disc image rather than burning an actual CD-R/RW. Then sinmply load the disc image and ripp teh songs into whatever format you might want. This will be much faster and will save you quite a bit of time.

Hope this works.

I haven't tested this as i HATE itunes. It's a pain in the ass when you want to use your ipod with MC...

Will Nero handle the conversion of AAC?

[cascius]

TimB, to tell you the truth I don't knwo for sure. You might want to download a copy of nero and see if it works. I personaly don't have any AAC files so I can't really check that.

That isn't a solution.  I'm ripping the tracks with Nero to AAC [as opposed to ripping with MC to mp3 etc] to take advantage of the supposed benefits of the AAC encoder.  Your solution refers, I presume, to downloaded AAC files.

Sorry, my burn and rip answer was to the initial question which mentioned iTunes.
