AAC files are audio files much like MP3 files. Like MP3, AAC files use audio compression to achieve a smaller file size. AAC stands for Advanced Audio Coding, and it is somewhat more effecient and higher quality than MP3 (depending on the bitrate). When you download a songs from iTunes, you're getting an AAC files. For more information, look up Advanced Audio Coding on Wikipedia.
