How to convert .mp3 to AAC?

I am using my Nokia C2-01 which does not accept mp3s.
I am thinking how to convert my mp3s to aac because it should maintain the sound quality well.
Another option is to convert mp3 to m4a but I think it is not so good because m4a is mostly a container.
There is a lot of discussion about the reverse: convert from aac/m4a to mp3 but not relevant here.
I did not find anything relevant in
apt-get
for aac
.
[Michael] I can do for one file ffmpeg -i test.mp3 test.aac
but for many files the following does not work where the command is wrying to overwrite some .mp3 files for some reason.
ffmpeg -i *.mp3 *.aac
Output for a single file with ffmpeg
---
Command ffmpeg -i test.mp3 test.aac
takes a lot of time (50 seconds for 9 MB file) and takes a lot of space (9 #0:0 (mp2 (native) -> aac (native))

I want to convert a set of
flac
files to aac
using best resolution for aac
file .
I found this tool [audio convert](https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/audio-convert) but I am missing the man page or a help side. The command works when I use
audio-convert .flac
but it starts some graphical choice wizard. Is there a way to only use one terminal command so I can batch it over a set files?
