Maybe, but you won't get too much benefit from AAC. It's supposedly
better than MP3 only for bitrates higher than 128kbit/s. And that is
not economical to store on the Newton. Much more interesting is
Ogg/Vorbis which is better at low bitrates. Some people say that 64kbit
Ogg = 128kbit MP3... I haven't tested it, but it's probably something I
look into before AAC.
