こんにちは みなさん
I recently bought one of the Sou Matome’s for JLPT grammar review and while the book still has the audio CD, they linked to their website as well for audio downloads.
I knew they had a ton of Japanese textbooks and JLPT review books, but I didn’t know most of them have the audio files included for free.
You can download them as a zip file, or stream them with Spotify or Apple Music.

Here you can find all books (you can also use the search to search for your JLPT level):

The website is in Japanese, look for books that have <音声DL> in the title.
The download/stream links are on each book page, you’ll easily find them scrolling down.

I skimmed through some of the playlists and many of them are pretty useful, even if you don’t have the accompanying book, you can use it for listening practice or shadowing material.
My fav picks:
* [日本語総まとめ](https://2024.ask-books.com/?s=%E6%97%A5%E6%9C%AC%E8%AA%9E%E7%B7%8F%E3%81%BE%E3%81%A8%E3%82%81&id=201) N5/4/3/2/1 (has JLPT style listening questions)
* [動画で学ぶ コンビニの日本語](https://2024.ask-books.com/jp/978-4-86639-706-1/) (staff and customer phrases in the konbini store)
* [はじめての日本語能力試験](https://2024.ask-books.com/?s=%E3%81%AF%E3%81%98%E3%82%81%E3%81%A6%E3%81%AE%E6%97%A5%E6%9C%AC%E8%AA%9E%E8%83%BD%E5%8A%9B%E8%A9%A6%E9%A8%93&id=201) N5/4/3/2/1 (vocab lists, one word is read at a time with an accompanying sentence)
* [NIHONGO FUN & EASY](https://2024.ask-books.com/?s=NIHONGO+FUN+%26+EASY&id=201) (simple beginner lesson snippets)
* [にほんご発音アクティビティ](https://2024.ask-books.com/jp/978-4-86639-683-5/)(pronunciation exercises)
* [ゆか先生 気持ちが伝わる日本語敬語](https://2024.ask-books.com/jp/978-4-86639-708-5/) (dialogue snippets around keigo expressions)
I hope it can be helpful to you too. I tried to search if this was posted previously, but I only saw mentions regarding Tadoku and So-Matome audio, not that there’s a lot of other books as well.
If you find something else in the list useful, please comment and let me know which one (since it’s just too many to skim through, there’s also EN/CN/KR textbooks in the playlists which makes it harder to sift through).
