Q: How do I delete audio (music) files from my Iphone to free up space to be able to run the IOS 8 update??

Hi maureenfromminneapolis,

I understand that you want to delete some songs off of your iPhone in order to make room for an iOS update. You can find some information on deleting music files in iOS in the following article:

How to delete content you've downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store - Apple Support

Note that this article is only for music items downloaded from the iTunes Store. In order to remove items that you have synced into your device from your computer, you will need to connect back to the computer you used to add the music, uncheck the items you want removed, then sync to confirm the removal of these items. Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!

Regards,
