A sample can be taken from an audio file using an audio editing program. The editor should be used to reduce the sample's length in seconds such that it lasts no more than 10 percent of the length of the original song, up to a maximum of 30 seconds. Such tools can also be used to reduce the bit rate so that the sample quality does not compete with commercially available versions of the work.

Fair use rationale This is a sound sample from a commercial recording. Its inclusion here is claimed as fair use because:
- it illustrates an educational article about an artist that specifically discusses the song from which this sample was taken
- it is a sample of about 30 seconds from a much longer recording, and could not be used as a substitute for the original commercial recording; and
- it is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted sample of comparable educational value.
- it is believed that this sample will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original recording.
