AMR (Adaptive Multi-Rate) is a narrowband speech codec developed by Ericsson for GSM cellular networks, encoding voice at 4.75 to 12.2 kbps. It was designed exclusively for speech — music, sound effects, and ambient audio are heavily distorted. RM (RealMedia) files from the late 1990s contain multimedia audio encoded with RealAudio codecs that, while low quality by modern standards, still far exceed AMR's narrow scope.
Converting RM to AMR is an extreme compression operation that strips audio down to voice-only fidelity. This conversion makes sense only for speech content — converting RM music recordings to AMR destroys any remaining musical quality. AMR's value lies in producing the smallest possible audio files for voice messaging and legacy mobile applications.
AMR remains the standard codec for voice messages on GSM networks and some messaging apps. If RM files contain speech recordings (lectures, interviews, news broadcasts, voice memos) that need to be shared via MMS or legacy mobile messaging systems, AMR is the required format. The extreme compression — often producing files under 1 KB per second of audio — enables transmission over the slowest mobile connections.
This conversion is purely functional, not qualitative. RM audio already suffers from aggressive dial-up era compression. AMR applies even more aggressive compression on top of that. The only valid use case is when AMR format is specifically required by the target system or device.
FFmpeg demuxes the RM container and decodes the RealAudio stream to PCM. The audio is then downsampled to 8 kHz mono (AMR's fixed requirement) and encoded using the AMR-NB encoder at 12.2 kbps (the highest AMR quality mode). All frequency content above 3.4 kHz is discarded, and stereo is collapsed to mono. The resulting file is extremely small but retains only speech intelligibility.
AMR encoding destroys virtually all audio quality beyond basic speech intelligibility. Frequencies above 3.4 kHz are cut entirely, stereo is collapsed to mono, and the 12.2 kbps bitrate produces robotic-sounding audio. Combined with the quality already lost in the original RM encoding, the result is barely adequate for understanding spoken words. Music, sound effects, and ambient audio become unrecognizable. This conversion is appropriate only when AMR format is specifically required.

RM to AMR conversion is a specialized operation for speech-only content requiring the smallest possible file size. It should not be used for music or general audio — the combined quality loss from RM encoding plus AMR re-encoding leaves only basic speech intelligibility.
