    Nice tool but i rarely use AMR nowadays since it spoils the quality.

    hello
    Mr.Shanker…thanks a lot for the software

  • iman

    I had a lot of recording about my university project on my phone , and i converted them to mp3 format, thanks a lot for your help.

  • Jason

    Very useful!

    I record songs through my phone (self sung) then convert n upload!

  • Aerel

    Completely useless, right overtop of the entire mp3 you keep hearing “AVS media data”. Definitely NOT free software.

    I have been searching for this kind of mobile media converter for a while. Finally found it here.

  • Bob

    I tried to use it but after i hit the “convert” button, I got a “Riskware” alert from my virus protection software. The alert read -> “RootShell – Cyber criminals frequently use this type of software to gain remote shell access to the victim’s system. Root shells bind standard input/output streams to sockets, allowing access to the system.”
    Why would an encoder need to rootshell level access?

    You need to fix this. I converted an AMR file to an MP3 file and the program told me the conversation failed. Yet it worked.

  • Veggievore

    It didn’t work for me which I find quite disappointing because I really want to edit this beautiful song that I’ve been playing now and then on my phone. Ah well, I guess I’ll just have to edit it the old fashioned way- write the music out and actually play it and record the whole thing.
    Or maybe you could suggest why it didn’t convert and save me the trouble?

  • Veggievore

    Wait a second.. It worked for Akin but said it failed?

    Ohmygosh! It worked! Thank you :D

  • Eloisa

    Thanks!! 10*

  • Melina

    Hey, i tried this, but it says that it cannot open my file, and its corrupted. But i tried uploading it a few more times, no change. Why?
    (i’m using the latest ver of mobile media converter, using windows vista, and my file format currently is .amr.)

  • di

    will this work on vista????

  • Jez

    Wow. Thank you for the tutorial.
    I got to convert AMR to MP3 today without any complications.. I’m using Vista, btw.
    Thanks, thanks.

  • Dips

    Thank You !
    It’s taken me all day how to figure out how to get some answer machine messages off my home phone then record to my mobile then transfer to my pc – but then i didnt know how to convert.
    I may need these messages in court
    So you have done me a huge favour with this.
    Thank You !!

  • Amelia

    Will this work through windows vista??

  • phr33st00fpl0x

    this didnt work for me so lame still didnt fix my amr problem!

  • http://www.pacificav.ca Russell

    WOW! great post! I’m looking into going to audio recording school at PAVI. Check it out. I would like to hear your advice on this school.

    Well written. Interesting as always.

  • Josh

    There’s a major flaw in the Mac version that leaves the software non-functional. The Mac version always fails when trying to convert any file. The error is “the file is not writeable” … I’m attempting to output the converted file to my home directory on my Macbook (a location to which I clearly have write privileges!!) Seems there’s a major bug here.

  • Mithra

    Very thank you…With your help I have changed AMR files to Mp3 format. Again thank you

  • Bert

    For Mac users: If it says “Output file is not writable” then it means you need to install the ffmpeg library.

  • Annie

    Completely useless. I installed this software and it won’t recognize AMR as a supported file. POS
