| Not replaceable with textual coverage because (WP:NFCC#1) |
Since pop music recordings contain specific and hard-to-describe sounds that aren't easily re-creatable with traditional instruments, it is very difficult to describe the lesser qualities of a song using words alone. |
| Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) | This file will be used only inside the Composition section in the article for "Imitation of Life". Edited using Audacity, it is of reduced quality (Vorbis setting of 0) and reduced length, less than 10% of the original, at 18.782 seconds. |

The use of a low resolution screenshot from software or a website will not impact the commercial viability of the software or site. |
