audios

Clips you hear

Audios is the plural of audio, referring to multiple sound recordings, files, or tracks: I downloaded several audios from the podcast.

The word appears frequently in digital contexts where distinct sound files need distinguishing: The audios were corrupted during transfer.

Some speakers prefer "audio files" or "audio clips," finding audios informal.
