Most free CD Rippers(excepting modern ezcd which is commercial) won't allow a rip to aac/mp4, but audiograbber one can using the external encoder option hack.
Go to the link below and scroll down to Fraunhofer FDK section and click on the 0.63_libfdk file to download the encoder. Place it in the audiograbber folder.
1.Make sure the MP3 icon is clicked on the gui. *Also ensure 'Rip all tracks before encoding' is ticked, otherwise you only keep getting one temp file overwritten every time from a CD rip.
2. Go to 'External Encoder' and click it on.
3. Use 'Browse' to find the fdkaac.exe
4. Enter the 'Predefined arguments' and find 'FAAC 128kbits/s
In the 'Arguments' box below change the bitrate 128 to %s % d-b160
Voila you can rip to aac with mp4a extension. By renaming the aacgain.exe 1.9(useful tool found here at VideoHelp to Mp3gain.exe which can then be normalised/checked for clipping etc in Mp3Gain gui or normalised in the audiograbber program itself beforehand. You could probably track down the latest faac 1.29 and do the same again instead of the fdk encoder, but this method works perfectly for ripping CD's to mp4a. Have fun!
