Huh.  I have not had that problem.  My AAC files have been pretty reliable.  Sometimes that error comes from some incompatibility between different parts of the installation.  A fresh install might fix it.  Are you using the most current bootloader?

You're sure they're m4a files right?  Rockbox will not play m4p files at all.

Also - if they came from the iTunes website, they'll be DRM crippled - which would explain why they won't play.

I think those would be the m4p files that saratoga mentioned.
