[MacDV] AAC

[Kunga]

Should be a progress bar in the olive drab window of the iTunes 
interface. I don't think that AAC files are smaller. I think they may 
be higher quality vs the same rate mp3 file but not smaller. I've 
already ripped quite a few and I don't find them to be significantly 
smaller than their mp3 siblings. I get sustained ripping rates for 
160kbps AAC from CDs of about 8x on my 500 MHz Cube with a 52x reader 
or 14x on my dual 867 MDD with a 48x reader.
