AMR is *not* mp3.

"The amr file extension is for Adaptive Multi-Rate compressed audio.
Adaptive Multi-Rate (AMR) is an audio data compression scheme optimized
for speech coding."

Use a tool like sox to convert the files to mp3 or wav directly.

sox /mypath/my_audio.amr /mypath/my_audio.mp3
or
sox /mypath/my_audio.amr /mypath/my_audio.wav

Then work with them in audacity.  When you are done, if you want them
back in amr, reverse the process with sox.
