Nohitter,
Thanks for that. I did some reading and the .m4a is a container standard that holds and .aac. The file size is roughly double an mp3, and the audio quality should be noticeably better I'm told. It works!

You should use the .m4a format instead, it will be recognized by iTunes.

Hi Music Lovers!

I need help. I have the latest MM4 Gold and the latest iTunes. I store my music in FLAC and want to convert to AAC. I have successfully converted FLAC to mp3 for a year or more to manage my ipod through itunes (more on mm sync on another post).

I am converting the FLAC to AAC (via addon) and the create fine. WMP can play them. iTunes will not recognize them. I went into iTunes and confirmed the AAC import settings, tried different variations etc. I am using a very simple way to test iTunes recognition of the file, the drag and drop import. I can drag and drop an MP3 but none of the AAC variations I have created will be accepted (you get the red X and it when you attempt to drop it...).

Any help greatly appreciated!
