Hypnosis isn't unconsciousness or unawareness, so it's perfectly normal to be aware of hearing the file. If you're not, it may mean that you've fallen asleep. Likewise, it's quite possible to be somewhat aware of your surroundings, but relatively indifferent to them. In fact, it's even possible to utilize this by suggesting that outside noises will deepen the trance.
While listening to a file, I suppose it's possible to become so focused on what's being said at the moment that recalling what was just said is too much trouble, but it's not necessary. With some files, it may not even be particularly desirable.
If you remember some or all of the file after you wake up, then you do. If you don't, then you don't. Remembering isn't a sign that you weren't in trance, and not remembering isn't a sign that you were.
