AMR and OGG explained

AMR is a narrowband speech codec designed for mobile phone calls. It is optimised specifically for the frequency range of the human voice and sounds poor for anything else.

OGG here means Ogg Vorbis, a royalty-free lossy codec that predates Opus. It is competitive with AAC and remains common in games.

Where AMR files come from
Voice memos and voicemail from older phones.
Where OGG is used
Game audio, Spotify's older streams and open-source projects.

AMR vs OGG

The two formats solve different problems, which is why converting between them involves trade-offs rather than a straight upgrade.

Why convert AMR to OGG?

People make this switch when they run into the limits of AMR: always — convert to MP3 or WAV so the recording stays usable. OGG is the better fit when game development or an open-source pipeline.

AMR limitations that prompt the switch
Terrible for music. Very limited playback support. Low sample rate ceiling.
What you give up
Apple devices do not support it natively. Largely superseded by Opus.

Does converting AMR to OGG reduce quality?

Both AMR and OGG are lossy, so this is a re-encode: the file is decoded and compressed again. At the default quality setting the difference is very hard to see, but each successive re-encode compounds. If you will need the file again later, keep the AMR original rather than converting back and forth.
