One benefit from converting from mp3 to aac could be if she is making her own ringtones. I think they have to be in an m4r file format which is an aac encoded format.

MP3 is a lossy format, so converting it to another format will not improve the sound quality, and if it's another lossy format, such ass AAC then you may introduce artifacts, decreasing the sound quality. I don't see any benefits to converting from MP3 to AAC other than possibly saving a little bit of space. If you have the same file in a lossless format then converting it to AAC makes a lot of sense, but I still use MP3 a lot myself. It's just so ubiquitous.

Make sure the General tab is selected in the settings dialog. 3. Press alt + o to open the import settings dialog. 4. The first item in this dialog is an Import Using drop-down box where you should select AAC Encoder. I expect yours is currently set to Mp3 Encoder. 5. The next item is the setting for the quality of your selected encoder. I would suggest you use iTunes Plus for a higher quality setting. There is a Custom option if you like tweaking such things. 6. Close each open dialog by selecting Ok. 7. Now when you put focus on a song or clip and initiate the context menu, you should have an option to Create AAC version. Good luck.

The only option I can see when I click on the clip is "convert to mp3." I understand that you must go into the advanced settings of iTunes to convert to the other format but I'm not sure how to do this. Does anyone know? Thanks.
