I am looking for an application that will convert AIFF or WAV files to AAC or MP3. Needs to be Mac software.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Itunes does this. Set the format in the CD import preference pane and then right click on the song you want to convert and choose “Convert Selection to (name of the format you chose)”
This will work with just regular audio file as well, or do they have to be on a CD?
regular audio file. Just import it into itunes and then follow the same directions kim gave above
You could check out Audacity. It’s pretty slick, and works on Mac, Linux, and Windows.

Go with iTunes, Audacity would be overkill. iTunes will convert it to whatever you set in the import properties like Kim said.
So if you want it in AAC, iTunes will give you the convert option as long as the file is not already AAC. Just make the playlist (smart playlist using kind) and then select all and convert.
iTunes seems to the simplist on the Mac, but one could always use the CLI.
for i in *.wav; do lame $i `basename “$i” .wav`.mp3; done
can you change the file of cd’s already ripped into itunes in mpeg4 or whatever default?
(ultimate destination is audacity)
or will i have to re rip the cd’s in aiff or mp3?
