won't play aac files

hi there,
i've looked through the discussion forums but i can't seem to find the answer to address my specific problem. i'm running the latest version of itunes (9.0.2) and i recently converted my entire music collection to aac files in order to save space. i used the program max to encode these new files. i then created a new itunes library and was trying to add the new aac files to this library except none of them are recognized - they don't play, they don't get added to the library. i've played these files fine on quicktime with no issues whatsoever.
i hope someone will tell me that there's a solution and that i didn't convert 80+gigs of music in vain...ultimate goal is to fit this on my ipod.
thanks in advance

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.4.10)
