Apple (iTunes) *does* permit AAC streams. We (Aural Moon) do not stream AAC. We stream AACplus (aka HE-AAC v1). This is not AAC. It uses a spectral band replication codec.

AAC was developed by Dolby and was adopted by MPEG (Motion Picture Experts Group) as an international standard. THere is no licensing fee with AAC which makes it more attractive than MP3 which does.
