Simplest Way To Convert *.mp3 Format To *.aac Using Ubuntu

Yesterday I just bought a "second hand" iPod Suffle 1st Generation. Obsolete, but it's my first gadget from that I have :)
Because iPod can play audio files with *.mp3 and *.m4a format, and then how to convert audio files from *.mp3 to *.m4a since *.m4a is the most common format used today?
Just use Nautilus Script Audio Converter, very simple! Run this command to install it:

sudo apt-get install wavpack mppenc libmpcdec3 faac flac vorbis-tools faad lame nautilus-script-audio-convert
 nautilus-script-manager enable ConvertAudioFile
 nautilus --restart

How to use?

Simple, just "right click" on audio file(s) you want to convert and choose Scripts → Audio files converter.
In the next pop-up, you'll prompted to select output format:
audio converter ubuntu linux

Select output format and OK. Next pop-up:

Check option that you want, about metatag of your audio file(s). Next pop-up:

Choose the compression level: the smaller number, the better quality.Yesterday I just bought a "second hand" iPod Suffle 1st Generation. Obsolete, but it's my first gadget from that I have :)

DONE!!! You'll see *.aac audio file(s) in same folder with original file(s). One thing, sometime your file converted to *.m4a instead *.aac. I don't know this, so maybe some of you know the reason please share it here :)
Opps, we were talking about the iPod right? How to transfer *.aac to iPod since iPod not recognize that format? Simple, just rename the file extension to *.m4a. Sounds stupid, but it's work! LOL :D
You've better solution? Please share it :)
