Hi Dave F
Doesn't the software in your link split the aac then convert it to wav?
 
If you're comfortable using ffmpeg you can use the -t and -ss options to split aac files without re-encoding.
-t is duration
-ss is seek position
[hh:mm:ss]
 
This does a slick job, but no GUI.
 
For example, this command will give you the first 59 minutes:-
ffmpeg -i filename.aac -t 00:59:00 -acodec copy output1.aac
 
For example, this command will give everything after the first 59 minutes:-
ffmpeg -i filename.aac -ss 00:59:00 -acodec copy output2.aac
 
And you can combine them.
For example, this command will skip the first 30 minutes and provide the next 45 minutes:-
ffmpeg -i filename.aac -ss 00:30:00 -t 00:45:00 -acodec copy output3.aac
