They're probably still fine on the original MD's. Grab a netMD minidisc unit and use webmd.pro with chrome browser (and the drivers it needs) and do some re-rips from the minidiscs instead. It took hackers decades to figure out how to bypass all the bullshit, but finally direct digital rips of original MD recordings is easily possible. Minidiscs tend to be viable lots longer than a cdr burn, so, go grab the originals and do it properly now!
