So when people put "sight-read" in the description fields for songs on VJ Army, they're saying it's the first time they played it?

I don't really see that as the same thing as reading sheet music, since you can hear the song as you're playing it, and get a feel for it fairly quickly. Unless they're playing with the sound turned off... which, I don't know why they'd do that.
