Convert M4R to AMR online, for free.
Apple iPhone Ringtone (M4R) is the file format Apple uses to store ringtones on iPhones. The maximum length of an M4R file is 40 seconds. The only difference between M4R and MPEG 4 Audio (M4A) is the file extension, which lets an iPhone know M4R is a ringtone instead of a song.
As a format deployed by Apple for iPhone ringtones, M4R files open on iTunes by default.
Alternatively, Apple iOS is another good choice for opening M4R files. To create a custom ringtone, simply save an M4A file as an M4R file, and then import it into the iPhone.

Adaptive Multi-Rate (AMR) is a compressed audio file that is often used for speech coding. The AMR speech codec focuses on narrowband signals, which makes it ideal for voice recordings and radio. It is used regularly in Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) and Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS).
Since AMR files are often used on mobile phones, including for MMS messaging, most 3G mobile devices are able to open them. AMR also opens with VLC media player, QuickTime, RealPlayer, and Xine.
Other software, such as the free audio-editing software Audacity, can open AMR files. Download audacity easily at SourceForge.net. Because AMR files are heavily compressed and focused on narrowband signals, they are not suitable for music files.
