I just assumed they were .aac's because that is the Apple codec of choice.

Anyway, someone alrwady gave us some .aac files, so we'll see what we can do...
The most popular Extensions/containers for AAC(Advanced Audio Coding) audio files are .m4a(Unprotected), .m4p(Protected), .mp4(Can be Video or Audio).. The extension/container ".aac" is an audio file, like an m4a, without the meta-data header. It's basically a naked m4a file. You can't add information into the file like Artist, Album, Track, Album art etc.". The extension .aac is extremely uncommon and rarely used for anything by anyone. Why anyone would want support for such a useless/unused format, I don't know. Sure, for something as simple as a digital voice recorder, its great. But not for music.
