you are making it to hard

if you are on a mac use xACT to decode and iTunes to burn and convert to aac for iPod
there is no need to burn then rip them, the files are already on your comp

open xACT
"add" the files that you have as wavs/flac
"decode" the files, i like aiff myself but wav works too

open iTunes
drag and drop the files
set your prefs to "aac" (iTunes will keep the original as a aiff/wav, don't worry)
select convert selection under "advanced"
you will now have the file in iTunes 2 times, once as a aac for your iPod and once as aiff/wav for burning
