What Is an AMR File?
AMR is a speech codec designed for mobile phone calls: it makes voice recordings tiny at the cost of everything that is not speech. Older phones saved voice memos and call recordings in it. AMR is a lossy format: it makes files small by discarding detail that is hard to notice. Converting it to another format cannot bring that detail back.
