New to all this. Just bought this CD reader like, today

Found CDs in basement that had music (from NY Trance nightclubs) that are probably 20-30 years old. Paper top so the ink has smudged a bit, but the bottom looks roughly fine. Put the CD in and boot windows. Reads the metadata fine. 13 tracks, starts & ends, byte size, cool. Won’t play the tracks no matter what. EAC won’t play the tracks. The reader plays another CD just fine (not necessarily the same format or anything).

Linux. dvdisaster. “Don’t support CD-R Audio”. ddrescue, sudo ddrescue -b 2048 -d -r 3 -v /dev/cdrom dvd.iso rescue.log, currently sitting at 845,0000 read errors.

What can I do? I really want to get this data off, it’s a CD called “Tunnel vs Sound Factory 2” which are New York trance nightclubs that closed down. My parents bought it off the street. The track names are on the CD but they’re remixes.
