We accept most

CDs and DVDs

If you have bought your CDs in a record store, you usually do not have to worry whether we will accept these CDs.

In general, all CDs and DVDs without scratches are eligible, as long as they come in the original jewel case with all cover art.

Complete cover art consists of the booklet in the front of the jewel case AND the play list in the back.

We can not use CDs if you have thrown away part of the cover art or the original jewel case.

We do NOT accept CDs which you have put in albums or case logic binders.

DVDs count like CDs (1 DVD = 1 CD).

We only accept DVDs with region code “1” (USA) or “all.”
