Play AMR file - how it works
This practical tip shows you how to play an AMR file on your computer.
Play AMR file on computer
If you try to play an audio file with the AMR file type under Windows, an error message usually appears. Many cell phones use the format for voice recordings, for example. This is why your PC often cannot do anything with it. If you want to play an AMR file on your computer, do the following:
- In order for your PC to play an AMR file, you have to convert this format into a common format. The MP3 format is best suited for audio files.
- Suitable audio converters are, for example, the free programs "MediaCoder" or "XMedia Recode".
- As soon as you have successfully installed your respective program on your PC, you can convert your selected AMR file as you wish. You can then play, send or burn the file.
Convert AMR file with MediaCorder
Using the example of the "MediaCorder" converter, we will show you how to convert an AMR file into a readable format for your PC:
- Start the "MediaCorder" and set the language to "German".
- In the menu bar under "File" click on "Add file" and select your AMR file.
- In the audio options you can then specify your desired file type under "Format". Finally click on the "Start" button so that the conversion can begin.
With the program "Audacity" you get a free recording studio on your PC, with which you can edit your MP3 files and other formats.
