is there anything I should be looking for except that the number of CDs are correct and that the disks sent are the right title, before I mark the disks as 'received in good condition"?  Thanks. Pat

Pat, Besides counting the amount of disks there should be,  I would look for scratches and try to listen quickly to each one to make sure the audio is clear.  I don't listen to audio books, but I do get complaints about them with disks being missing and or scratches making audio hard to understand.  These complaints are usually from members who have had the books on TBR a long time before getting to read/hear them!

Also, if you have a player other than your computer or car, try playing (the worst looking one) in that.  Computer CD players are very forgiving, and the ones in cars, as well. I found with swapping music CDs that there were quite a lot of complaints about CDs skipping when played in a stereo system, but were ok played on the computer.  It may not matter to you, but may make a difference for re-posting.   Then again, maybe they'll all be like brand new!

Thanks.  You guys also answered another question I had - about playing the CDs on my computer.  Guess I can do that.  Pat

Don't forget to check the ISBN too, of course.  Since you didn't mention it, it had to be said.  I order and send a lot of audio books on CD and have rarely encountered a problem.  You can also play them in your DVD player.

I have found that 9 times out of 10 if I get a audio book that skips even if I put it in my computer (cause Anna is right my computer is way more forgiving than my cd player), and it still skips instead of wasting money to get a repair kit I just put it in media player and hit rip.  I then have no problem with playing the audio that was created during the rip.  Media player is awesome!  I say 9 out of ten because there are those rare ones that give me a error, and say it can't read the cd.  I take all of my shippers to my local radio shack and they run them through some machine charge me a buck and they are good as new.  I don't know if this is something only mine offers of if all do so but you can still purchase a repair kit if not.  I only do the ripping though when I need to move through the book "like NOW," because sometimes you just can't wait to find out what happened next!

ETA: I don't post many audio through here, but if I do have them repaired are they still unpostable?  I have never worried about it because I purchase most of mine from a local animal shelter thrift shop and I donate them back when I'm done with them.  Now I'm curious though!

As long as your CDs play as they should after the 'fix', I cannot see any reason that they wouldn't be postable.  Especially if they play well on a CD or DVD player...   I don't see that as any different than removing a sticker or erasing a pencil mark.

Duplicate post -- I can only presume that the Team is still working on the site changes...

If you have minor skipping or scratches, if you wipe the CDs down with Windex, it will clear them up about 90% of the time.  I keep a bottle of Windex and a roll of paper towels in my car for this purpose.

I read a tech article that said furniture polish works well on CDs with minor skips, so that's what I've been using.

Thanks. Pat
