How to Convert an MP3 to an ACC in iTunes

AAC, or Advanced Audio Coding, is a method of encoding digital audio and compressing it so that it requires fewer bytes of memory. AAC files can be of good quality while being significantly smaller than mp3 files. For this reason, they can be a better option for those listening to music on a phone, iPod, or similar device that may have a limited amount of space. Converting files to AAC with iTunes is easy.
