I don't. Why would I need to?

I do a very quick check in ADE (because nothing looks as it should in this for some reason) make adjustments fix errors until ok in epubcheck

I load up the book to iPad iBooks. Run through everything checking all hyperlinks are working, all images are in place and are at the correct size, all fonts are as they should be (sans-serif) bullet/number lists etc etc.

If ok I then convert to .mobi from .epub (still on my desktop) the open the kindle desktop viewer to make sure everything is in place (I don't do a complex check, just a quick run through, because if it works in iBook then it'll work in kindle...hyperlinks etc)

If you test the file on an iPad, iTunes adds the playlist metadata file. However, Ive read that the metadata invalidates the file when uploading to iBookstore which leaves you having to open the package, remove the playlist and rezip it again.

Arh...well. I haven't been able to work out how to get the epub out of itunes once I put it there so I always use a secondary file
