ALE and AAC files both get the .m4a extension.

You can't use the Import command from the File menu to select ALE .m4a files, not even one at a time.

But if you have ALE tracks in your Library, you can select them and then select the "Convert Selection to AAC" in the Advanced menu.

Not only is this cumbersome, you end up with both the ALE and AAC versions in your Library, with the duplicate/incremented file names (foo.m4a and foo 1.m4a)

But is there a more elegant way to batch convert a bunch of ALE files at once to AAC files with iTunes 4.5?

Or is there some utility that would do the same thing?

Try this. Put in all the files you want to convert in your music library. Select a file, and then go to the menu bar up top, and under "edit" choose "select all". Now, if you have two button mouse, right click the highlighted area and you should see and option to "convert the selection to whatever".

This may work.
