One thing to keep in mind: after itunes is installed, when you put a new cd into your computer to import into itunes, it will automatically import it in the aac format. This doesn't seem like a big deal, but if in the future, you ever decide to switch to a different brand of music player, they will more than likely not play when in aac format.
