This template is used with the |misc= parameter of the infobox template. It should not be used on its own. If this template is substituted, it will return a cleaned-up copy of itself with unnecessary parameters removed and deprecated parameters replaced. Parameter indentation will also automatically be fixed.

{{Infobox song
...
| misc         = {{subst:Audio sample
 | type        = 
 | header      = <!-- leave blank for "Audio sample" -->
 | file        = 
 | description =
 }}

Enter single to produce a khaki header or song for light blue for other Infobox song types, so that the headers will have a consistent color. Other header colors are shown at {{Infobox album/color}}.

If this parameter is left blank, Audio sample (the default setting) will be generated. A custom header may be created by entering text in this field. For no header, enter |header=no. For multiple audio samples, set the first to |header=Audio samples and the succeeding links to |header=no, so only one header for all will be created (see Example with multiple samples).

Enter the name of the audio file. The param will work with or without the preceding File:.

Since the infobox already provides the name of the song, artist, dates, etc., an additional description is usually not necessary. However, "First verse", "Chorus", etc., may be added to identify a specific sample. Generally, commentary about the composition, techniques used, etc., should be included in the main body of the article and not in the infobox.
