The Mac version of iTunes does it; I've done it hundreds of times. Are you sure it just doesn't save the file in the default iTunes directory?
I also use a cheap shareware sound editor (Sound Studio, again for a Mac) that can open CD files directly, and then allows you to save them as AIFFs - 10 times bigger, but better sound.
