 Over interpreting? I believe that converting to CDDA is just as much of
 a "conversion" as anything else in a general sense. I was mereley
 making sure it was clear that you can burn CD's with the files
 downloaded from the iTunes store. It's an important detail in my
 opinion.

 ?? I don't follow. I put in an audio CD, and select 'Convert to MP3'. I
 don't even see any option to convert to AAC encoding.
