## Discussion

`Audio` is the abstract definition for all audio components. You can also include an image that represents your audio file.

See <doc://com.apple.applenews/documentation/AppleNews/preparing-image-video-audio-music-and-arkit-assets>.

### Example

```json
{
  "components": [
    {
      "role": "audio",
      "URL": "http://example.com/files/sample.mp3",
      "caption": "Listen up!"
    }
  ]
}
```
