If a song was imported into iTunes in AAC format if you make an AIFF version of the song would it be the same quality of a song that was imported as an AIFF file?
Not the same! A song in a commercial CD usually/ normally was stored in an AIFF format. If you imported/ converted this song into an AAC format, then there will be some quality lost. And, if you then export/ convert this song (from AAC format into AIFF), that lost part is never be regained; the later AIFF song is not the same with the first(original) one.

Can you save your music from a CD to your music folder?
The music is stored on a CD as AIFF audio files. If a CD icon appears you can usually double click it and drag the files into your Music folder. AIFF files are relatively large and so are often converted to the MP3 format to save space. A typical song will be around 20MB (AIFF) which will be reduced to around 4MB (MP3). Free software, such as iTunes or numerous others, will recognise the CD and convert the music to MP3s, or whatever format you prefer, and help manage the Music folder.

You can play songs from anywhere on an iPod Touch providing they are in a suitable format - AAC , MP3, Audible, Apple Lossless, AIFF or WAV. These can be from the iTunes store, Amazon, or any other retailer with a download service, or from your own CD collection. Tracks from CDs are in the AIFF format which takes up a lot of space on your iPod but the iTunes software can convert these to the more compact MP3 or AAC formats.
