 From Mac OS 9?

That's the catch here -- Matthew, to do this through iTunes you'll have 
to do it on a machine running Mac OS X.

Maybe QuickTime 6 in Mac OS 9 supports AAC audio?  Maybe there's a 
utility somewhere to easily (but probably slowly) convert from AAC to 
MP3 (or AIFFs that can be converted to MP3s) via QuickTime in Mac OS 9? 
  Maybe AAC files are just not going to work in Mac OS 9?

Some thoughts.
