It is important to mark a CD received as promptly as possible after you receive it, so that the sending member will get credit for sending it.
Your CDs must be playable to be posted.
The first rule above is not as cut and dried as you *have* to marked it received as soon as you get it. However, the second does state that it has to be playable. As I'm sure we all know, the system asks that you confirm that your CD is playable as you post it.
I listen to every CD I get before marking it received, but I do it within a day 95% of the time, and within 2 100% of the time. I don't think that's irresponsible or thoughtless. I'm not looking for mint, I'm looking for playable and if it's not it's no good to me. I can't repost it and I can't listen to it. I've had plenty that looked bad and played OK. I've had more than one that looked OK but skipped. I test on multiple CD players and try to clean them first before marking it damaged, but in one case, the sender claimed to have tested it using one of the programs listed above before sending it and it still failed in 4 out of 4 CD players so you can't trust that either.
