| Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) | This sound sample shows an extract from a track on the album that has been critically praised, and allows the reader to identify its musical structure: "This classic Bernard Purdie half-time shuffle groove appears on the Steely Dan tune, "Home At Last", from their 1977 album release, Aja (MCA Records). ... Purdie builds the chorus throughout the tune by improvising on the Kick drum. ... Notice the open HiHat which also appears in the chorus. If we lose the open HiHat and improvised Kick drum — we've got the overall basic groove for the entire tune." [1]; "We are now confronted by a stunning feet of pop legerdemain. "Home At Last", on first listening an unpretentious roadhouse shuffle, turns out upon close inspection to be a minor marvel of poetic grace and structural economy. At this late date, it would hardly seem possible for an artist to take Homer's immortal tale, so thoroughly exploited by Joyce in 1922, and educe from it new insights - especially within the narrow scope provided by the medium of popular song. Beneath the attractive, effortless flow of words and music, one discovers a lyric presence and fineness of perception that is a rare thing on disc nowadays. I can't say enough about this lovely rhythm-and-blues poem."[2] - original sleeve notes, purportedly by music journalist "Michael Phalen" (actually Becker and Fagen). |

| Not replaceable with textual coverage because (WP:NFCC#1) |
While sources cover the track (as given in the above example extract), they do so as a critical commentary from a fan's point of view, or a technically musical one, rather than a neutral one. The technical details of the track would be too lengthy and cumbersome to represent as text. |
| Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) | This sound sample will only be used in the article about the album on which this song appears, and will be the only sample on that article. The length (approx 30 seconds) is under the standard 30 second limit for audio samples and less than 10% of the track's overall length (> 5 minutes 34 seconds). |
