A(z) ALAC – AMR konverzióról
ALAC stores bit-perfect lossless audio in Apple's M4A container. AMR (Adaptive Multi-Rate) is ETSI's speech-optimized codec for GSM and UMTS mobile voice infrastructure. AMR-NB operates at 8 kHz mono (4.75-12.2 kbps), while AMR-WB reaches 16 kHz (up to 23.85 kbps).
Converting ALAC to AMR takes advantage of lossless source quality to produce the best possible AMR output. The conversion decodes ALAC to perfect PCM before applying AMR's aggressive speech compression, resulting in a single-generation lossy encode — superior to converting from any lossy source.
Miért érdemes ALAC fájlt AMR formátumba konvertálni?
AMR is required by mobile telephony infrastructure — voicemail systems, IVR platforms, and MMS gateways. When ALAC recordings must enter the telecom pipeline, AMR conversion is necessary. Starting from lossless ALAC ensures the AMR output captures the maximum possible quality.
The extreme compression (ALAC at ~700 kbps lossless to AMR-NB at 12.2 kbps) makes this conversion useful for mass archival of voice recordings originally captured in lossless quality.

Hogyan működik
FFmpeg decodes ALAC to perfect PCM, resamples to 8 kHz (AMR-NB) or 16 kHz (AMR-WB), downmixes to mono, and encodes using libopencore-amrnb or libopencore-amrwb. The lossless PCM decode means only one lossy encoding step occurs, producing optimal AMR quality. Output is raw AMR or 3GP-wrapped.
Minőség és teljesítmény
ALAC's lossless starting point means the AMR output is the best achievable quality for the codec. AMR-NB remains narrowband (300-3400 Hz) — speech only. AMR-WB extends to 50-7000 Hz for HD Voice. Neither is suitable for music, regardless of source quality.

Tippek a legjobb eredményekhez
- 1ALAC sources produce the best possible AMR output — always prefer lossless sources for telephony conversion
- 2Use AMR-WB at 23.85 kbps for HD Voice quality from your lossless masters
- 3Only convert speech content — AMR destroys music regardless of source quality
- 4Wrap output in 3GP for broader mobile compatibility
- 5Keep original ALAC files — AMR is an extreme quality reduction that cannot be reversed
