easy way to transfer a visual voicemail message to a cd? (computer, iPhone)

[pulse1000]

Is there any easy way to transfer a visual voicemail message to a cd? My mom recently passed way and I found a few messages from her on my phone from a long time ago and would like to keep them. The only way I thought about doing it was hooking a mic up to my pc and playing it and recording it that way. Any other way this could be done?

That's the best way.

(1) click on the voice mail of interest, (2) click on "share" from upper right hand three bar menu, (3) save to drive.

The format of the file has an AMR file extension short for Adaptive Multi-Rate ACELP Codec file. Files of this type are associated with the following programs
Audacity
Android
Open Source software
AMR Player
QuickTime
Real Player
VLS Media Player
Apple iPhone

I had to download some free software in order to be able to play it. You may have to convert it .mp3 file if you want the more familiar format to play on a CD player.

If you're on iOS, tap the message, tap the share button (the box with an arrow pointing up and out). You can then e-mail it to wherever you want. It sends an m4a file so you can play it with pretty much any media player.

If you really want it on a CD you should be able to save the audio files to a CD. A regular CD player would want a WAV file. A computer could play back MP3, if you have it saved that way.

They're usually AMR files. You might have to use something like EX File Explorer to find them.

What I do is export my messages to a file. Then I go and find the AMR; it is usually in Internal Storage somewhere, so you may want to show hidden files when searching your phone for the file.

If you press on the file, your phone will want to play it back using Google Music, or the built in player. Select the file, then share it with yourself, maybe Google Drive, or Gmail.

Then you go to a computer and download that file.

Then, you use something to convert the file into WAV.

Then, burn the file onto a CD, master the CD.

Then you can play it back in a regular CD player.

As far as software, an old PC with Windows Media Player would be the easiest.
