Frequently asked questions
How good does FLAC sound after converting to AMR?
Quality drops sharply. AMR is a low-bitrate speech codec, so lossless FLAC music is heavily compressed and re-encoded to fit a format built for voice, not music.
Why convert FLAC to AMR?
AMR is the voice codec used in GSM and 3G phones, so the conversion suits speech or voice-note use cases rather than music playback.
Where does an AMR file play?
VLC plays AMR on all platforms. It is also handled by phone messaging and voice apps that use the 3GPP format.
What is lost in this conversion?
Most musical detail and stereo imaging. AMR narrowband is mono and tuned for the frequency range of human speech, so full-range and stereo content from the FLAC does not survive.
