Actually, you can even convert standard AAC files to other formats within iTunes. You just can't convert protected AACs m4p files to other formats, unless you first burn them as an audio disk and subsequently reimport them. The "Convert to" option in the Advanced pulldown menu of iTunes is linked to whatever you have set as your Importing preference under the Advanced option of iTunes Preferences.
