AMR phone voice recorder format

(1/1)

Pogle:
Anyone know anything about this format? AMR that is.
I have a Sony Ericsson that records to AMR format (one of those things you don't find out till you buy the thing - salesman said it was mp3  ::) ).

Is there anyway to play this in MediaPlayer directly. I saw a 3rd-party converter while Googling, but a plug-in would be ideal.

Thanks  :)

horse:
AMR is a standards based CODEC has has a couple of varients. i.e. Narrowband and wide band for a start.
This CODEC generally requires a royalty AFAIK. Newer GSM phones support this in addition to GSM and GSM-FR CODEC's.

I guess you are looking to be able to encode your music into this format?

Pogle:
Thanks horse.
I'm not looking to use ARM for music - rather I'd like to be able to transfer voice memos to the PC and play them in MediaCenter.

I've got around it by downloading this converter but a plug-in would be much faster.

I don't suppose there's enough demand out there though.

HTPC4ME:
Just ran into this problem as well. On my droid the voice recording app i payed for saves voice memos in .amr. i drug it to jriver and i got error unsupported file type.

Then i drug it to quicktime and it played fine.

Any new news on this?
Thanks
