I saved an audio recording using my mobile phone.
The file has been saved as a .amr file "Amr narrow band content file".

I saved file on my pc and tried opening with real player. Real player cannot open this file as it cant download the file.

any ideas on how i can open this file?

    VLC (free media player) can do it:

    FFDShow should do it if nothing else does.

    Hello,

    Use this free converter (based on the Sony Ericsson software) to change the .amr file into a .wav file that any PC can play.

    The first should allow it to be played in Windows Media Player, the second is a standalone player. NiVZ's suggestion is probably best in your case.

    Problem with AVS media demo it keeps adding a voice message "AVS Media Demo" during the converted recording.

    That's because you've downloaded and installed the wrong program.
    The one you should have downloaded is 'Mobile AMR Converter (v.1.5)'.
