Converting S/E T610 AMR files to MP3

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.ericsson (More info?)

Please can someone tell me the optimum settings to use when converting AMR
files recorded on my T610 to MP3 files? For instance, what should I set the
bitrate and frequency settings to?

Dave.

AMR is the compressed sound format the SE use to record sound files to
- smaller than mp3

.... and NO it isn't - use Bluetooth to transfer the files off to your
PC , then "Mobile AMR Converter" (miksoft) to convert to wav - then
use someting like blandenc to convert to mp3... simple!

Not sure about amr->wav conversion, but SE AMR converter does a lousy job on
wav->amr conversion. I tried Nokia Multimedia Converter, it's much easier to
use (no resampling needed, accepts MP3s etc), and produces way better
sounding AMRs. I'd guess it will do a better job on amr->mp3 conversion as
well.
