Will a head unit that has USB and ipod control, like the Eclipse CD5030 I just bought be able to play AAC (iTunes) files even though the deck does not support AAC?

If I can't play songs bought off iTunes I'll just return it and pick up a Kenwoood KW-X993.

Dammit... stupid fucking iTunes, that's what I figured. Looks like the Eclipse will go back and I'll be picking up a x993

You do know that you can have iTunes do MP3's, right?

Have you tried converting the files to mp3? Not hard to do

Yes, but these are bought off iTunes, they come in as .m4a which I think are AAC

Yeah, but converting from one lossy format to another lossy format = :crap:

I was in a local stereo shop talking to a guy that was at CES. He said what he heard was they were scaling back, not completely pulling out. ( this store did not carry Eclipse)

I converted all my iTunes stuff from AAC to high quality MP3 and it still sounds just fine in my car.
