Ah. Thanks. I guess I made a common mistake:
"""Apple should have used "MP4" instead of AAC, that's what it is afterall. People would have seen the association with MP3 and say "Oh, COOL, it's even better than MP3." Instead they have no idea what AAC is. I'm sure they assume that one of those A's stands for Apple, just like the W in WMA stands for Windows. Apple Audio Codec, Apple Audio Control, etc.""" <http://www.macobserver.com/comments/commentindivdisplay.shtml? id=36749>
True, AAC is not very well known as a name. I wonder if they were required to use this name though. Since it is just using the AAC codec which is just a part of the MPEG-4 standard it might have been required due to some licensing issues or something. I don't really know, just guessing.
