Hello. I recently downloaded an AAC music file but iTunes wont open it on my imac desktop (Lion o/s). My VLC player can play the AAC file but I would like to burn the AAC file to a disk to play in my car's CD player without having to convert to an mp3 format. I have iTunes 10.4. Do I need to upgrade to the latest version of iTunes in order to play AAC files?

Thanks for advice but surely by first converting to mp3 there will be a loss in sound quality which defeats the purpose of the exercise.
The whole purpose of AAC is to retain better sound quality.
Is there no way that I can burn the original AAC file to cd rom from the vlc player without first changing its format to mp3?

yep sorry you have to change to mp3 it's stupid because we have dual aac formats the hacker format which keeps isp's from spying on the file and the original that itunes reads and you wont lose sound quality because once converted to mp3 you can reconvert it back into aac through iTunes
