Why convert AMR to ALAC?
ALAC is lossless, so further editing and re-saving won't reduce quality any more. (It can't restore detail that AMR compression already removed.)
ALAC is best for lossless music on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Music. All Apple devices, iTunes, VLC, foobar2000 and most modern players.
Will I lose quality?
Converting AMR to ALAC keeps all the quality that is in your AMR file - nothing more is lost. However, it cannot recover detail removed when the AMR was originally created, and the ALAC file will be larger.
