Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	Illustrates the content that helps readers recognize the recording and associate with the context described in the article.
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	The software or website from which the screenshot is taken is copyrighted and not released under a free license, so creation of a free image is not possible.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	Two other samples—(regular) album version of "Loverboy" and YMO's "Firecracker"—are used in the article but are dissimilar from each other and this sample. Nonetheless, the samples are used for comparison. Furthermore, in effort to sound inferior to the original recording, this sample's audio format is 16-bit PCM, audio channel is mono, sample rate is 22,050 hertz, and bit rate is 64 40 kb/sec. Its length is 19 seconds, i.e. no more than ten percent of the recording's original length, per MOS:SAMPLE
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	The use of a low resolution screenshot from software or a website will not impact the commercial viability of the software or site.
