Hey people,
Some kind developer out there needs to create an app that will batch convert mp3s to aac so that when apple releases support for aac for the iPod and iTunes, we can convert out libraries over. It should include a pause button, as some of us have 20GB+ of music. Of course, it would be great if Apple released something like this too.

why would you want this? the ipod and iTunes will still provide mp3 support even if they do have brilliant new aac support. plus your recompressing already compressed mp3s so the quality will decrease unless you can re-encode them from the original source (ie a CD).

I guess if you're tight on hardrive space, it may be worth it to convert mp3s to aac, but you won't benefit from the improved sound quality unless you convert the original aiff files to aac.

I heard that it's not good to do that:
Q: Will there be a way to convert my MP3's to AAC files?
A: Converting directly from MP3 to AAC is not recommended. Going from a 128kbps MP3 to a 128kbps AAC file will provide no space spavings, and yet you will likely lose audio quality. (both are "lossy" file formats). Remember, you will never "regain" the quality lost when a song was encoded into MP3. The recommended course of action would be to re-rip the files from its original format (CD, for example).

whenever apple includes support for AAC, i will most likely just start alphabetically and slowly re-rip my music collection onto my mac.
i think it'd be a bad idea to convert your collection over to AAC from mp3 though, as many others have said - you gain nothing (no real space savings) and lose a lot (actually will LOSE quality).
