...b/c the second disc is too scratched to rip.

Oh, boy, have I got a deal for you!

Go here and get a bottle of this stuff. It really works. Unless your CD is damaged so badly that the foil itself is damaged, you can fix it.

The repair kit costs about as much as a new CD, and will fix 30 to 50 CDs.

Try it. Highly recommended.
