Hi
The aac files are 'raw' streams not suitable for iPods/iPhones.
They need to be 'wrapped' in a m4a container.

There's a patched version of get_iplayer by Nick Ludlam that changes 
the aac files losslessly to m4a automatically.

Read about it in this thread:- http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/get_iplayer/2011-March/000988.html

See if it works OK with your ffmpeg and iTunes and iPhone.
