3GA to M4R

Upload a 3GA audio file and save it as M4R for players, messengers, editing, publishing or archiving.

3GA is a 3GPP audio file created in 1998. It was created by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project. It is used mainly on mobile devices in order to record, play and transmit audio data. 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) is a consortium that develops specifications for mobile telephony. The format resembles 3GP files, however, it includes only audio data. In most cases, 3GA files are used by mobile phones in order to record and transmit audio data. For example, this is how audio is recorded in Samsung Galaxy phones. The .3GA file extension can be changed to .3GP, which is widespread. Everything is supported by many programs. The 3GA format uses an adaptive coding audio codec with variable speed (AMR, AMR-NB, GSM-AMR). The development of this codec was done in order to compress encoded speech signals using adaptive modulation. In 1999, the 3GPP consortium adopted the Adaptive Variable Rate Coding (AMR) standard. Currently, it is used by GSM and UMTS communication systems. It is this format for speech recording that has found wide application on mobile devices. We note at the same time that it is not possible to play such files very often on certain devices.

M4R is a highly specialized audio file format. This format (full name - iPhone Ringtone File) was developed by Apple's IT giant specifically for the iPhone. This format creates music ringtones for the iPhone. ITunes Ringtone is the main program for opening files with the extension .m4r, and their creation is mainly using Apple iTunes. Formally, M4R files can only be created from songs and other works purchased in the iTunes music store. The size of the created ringtone in the M4R format can be a maximum length of not more than 40 seconds.
