AMR
AMR is a speech-focused audio format developed for efficient voice recording and mobile communication, especially in older phone systems. It is best for voice notes, telephony-related audio, and low-bitrate speech workflows where file size matters more than music fidelity.

audio/amr
Common Uses:
Voice recordings and notes, Mobile and telephony audio, Low-bitrate speech storage
Advantages:
- Optimized for speech compression
- Produces small files for voice content
- Useful in legacy mobile communication workflows

- Not suitable for high-quality music
- Primarily useful for speech rather than general audio listening
M4A
M4A is a common audio container extension often used for AAC or ALAC audio, especially in Apple-related ecosystems. It is best for music distribution, mobile listening, and modern audio libraries that do not need the legacy expectations of MP3.

Music libraries and downloads, Mobile audio playback, Modern compressed or lossless audio packaging
Advantages:
