@Arez,
You are 1000000000000000000x3 to the infinite power correct. Dude, do not argue with someone that does not know what he is talking about. MP3 is on the way out. This is why .ogg and .aac are becoming the standard. MP3 is an old codec and not very efficient when compared to .mp4 or .ogg but let others with their .mp3 pro continue to think so.
@Melik,
Did you really ask how to convert a music file into a video file? Do you want to really ask this being that they are two different things.

Mp4 is a kind of container: it can contain just video (mpeg4), just audio (aac) or both

To Melik,
Like arez has been told you MP4 is a container. For audio it use AAC as its native code.
But S700 cannot access the AAC codec directly. It has to be encapsulated to MP4 files.
In iTunes there's an option to convert the audio files to AAC. Dont use this option, as it will create AAC type of file. Use import command instead, it will make MP4 file type that contains AAC in it.

I guess mp4 sounds better and the good thing is it takes less space.

not sure about the S700 firmwares as I got a K700, but on the K700 you have actually allways been able to play raw Itune aac files, all you needed to do was change the extension of the files from m4a to mp4 before sending them to the K700, and in the latest firmware of K700 there are direct support of m4a files from Itune.

To explain a litle, like Arez said mp4 is not the same as mpeg4. Mpeg4 is a videocodec used to compress videostreams. Mp4 is the fileextension of mp4 containers. This container can include either an AAC encoded audiotrack or an Mpeg4 encoded videotrack or both. If you just want a musicfile it will be encoded/compressed with AAC and will have the fileextension .mp4, if you want a videofile with sound it will also have the audio encoded with AAC, and the videotrack encoded with some mpeg4 codec, and it will also have the fileextension .mp4

To Numb:
I think you missed my point. I did not talking about inability to read .mp4 or .m4a kind of files.
What i mean is .aac type of files - the pure codec of AAC without any encapsulation. S700 (and probably K700 as well) cannot read it. You can generate this kind of file easily with iTunes.
