AAC?

Anyone have more info about this codec? I want to take advantage of my iPods support of it and rip all of my cds to AAC but can't find a good PC based encoder.. There seems to be a lot of variations in quality and speed - anyone know a good ripper? EAC has like 6 different AAC codecs- what's a good one? I'm willing to pay for one but the quality seems hit or miss (my mac encodes AACs that sound awesome at 64kbs while the pc encoders that I've tried suck at 128kb.. My goal is to have good sounding files at @128 or less).

P.S. I don't want to start a AAC vs XXX flame feast.. I know that there are better codecs out there but my iPod only supports AAC or MP3...

I thought it was just an online store...

It's a music player application that also does CD ripping, CD Burning, the store, and syncs with the iPod.
 
I just downloaded and installed itunes for windows. What an amazing program. It is by far the best jukebox software that I've ever tried. The AAC sound quality is impressive as well. It even keeps track of how many times you've listened to each song so that you can have a favourites list.

Not quite; AAC is simply an audio codec defined as part of the MPEG2/4 standards. The DRM Apple adds to its music store songs, Fairplay, is proprietary.
