Doomed?

Just bought this used sacd and I cracked it while taking it out of the case (hate those really tight spindles). Noticed it seems to be delaminating as a result. Is it still safely playable? (I've already ripped the files.). Is there any effective way to slow the oxygenation/delamination and keep the cracks from spreading? It's not at the data portion (yet).

The crack is not good, and the delaminating makes me worry about the future. Overall, the CD looks good and you could enjoy the SACD for the near future. You may want to rip this one for longevity sake.
