What i really need

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Have Not Tried

As AAC is better quality than MP3, what would be useful is a way to convert all of iTunes ACC files to MP3. Converting MP3 to AAC is pointless - it would not improve matters, and putting a compressed format into another compressed format is not very useful. Converting the superior AAC to MP3 would be slightly better, because the AAC is better to begin with. I don't want to have to rip all my CD's twice to have both formats.

Converting from one lossy compression scheme to another will not, will NOT give you better quality. You will be decreasing quality no matter how you do it. MP3 to AAC and AAC to MP3 will both give you inferior results in comparison to ripping straight to MP3 or AAC. Do not convert your AAC files to MP3 files, and do not convert your MP3 files to AAC files. You will not get better quality.

Just change the importer format to MP3 and you can convert AAC to MP3 in iTunes. No reason at all to do so, though.
