Converting from one lossy codec another isn't generally recommended, plus you aren't likely to save that much disk space by converting to AAC.
10 GB is actually pretty small for a local music collection, quite honestly. If I were you, I would try to expand your storage capacity instead of wasting time, and potentially audio quality, by transcoding.
I have an iPhone. The storage I have is all I've got.
You could consider running a plex server and using Plexamp to stream from that to your phone. It’s free as of a few days ago!
