Convert AAC to AMR online. See the real timed-stream transcoding behavior, preservation limits, and a format-specific acceptance test.
Decoding AAC recovers the waveform and channel layout it carries; writing AMR means re-expressing that under a different codec and container profile. Duration commonly survives untouched even while compression, channel mapping, cadence, metadata, or auxiliary streams do not. AAC arrives as coded audio frames without the richer track tables expected from an MP4-family container, so timing and tags are reconstructed from the elementary stream. AMR output is tuned to narrowband or wideband speech modes; it is a voice-delivery choice rather than a transparent music or archive master.
Decoded media - Lossy Advanced Audio Coding frames used by many streaming and device workflows. Encoded delivery profile - Adaptive Multi-Rate speech coding designed for mobile telephony at narrowband or wideband voice rates.

Designed for recorded sound meant for playback over time.
An AAC elementary stream carries less container metadata than M4A and another lossy encode can soften transients.
AMR is optimized for speech rather than music, and many general players lack the required decoder.
Adaptive Multi-Rate speech coding designed for mobile telephony at narrowband or wideband voice rates is what gets written, labeled as audio/amr. Whether that actually opens depends on the receiving application, not on the file extension.
Listen for speech sibilance and music attacks, then confirm duration and channel layout.
Listen to consonants and background noise, then confirm narrowband or wideband mode, duration, and phone compatibility.
Choose AMR only after the player, editor, or publishing service confirms its container and codecs; keep AAC if extra tracks or source encoding must survive.
