Audacity will take a 78 played at 45 and turn it into the proper speed.
I ripped some old 78s I got at a yard sale on my turntable that only
does 33 and 45, nothing particularly interesting, but it worked OK.

Don - I have stacks of classical 78s that are waiting to be played on my
antique Dual turntable once I set it up in my new place. I just know the
78s will crack or shatter over time. Please let me know how your
experiment works, in particular, whether the briliance off tone is
preserved in the digitization process...
It's amazing that this topic has created one of the longest threads in the
history of diesel Mercedes lists. I guess vintage Mercedes dieselers are
almost all audiophiles...

Does anyone have the answer to Curly's question?

If you want to store the files on a hard drive, and never need to make a
cd or dvd, (or mp3 player) wouldn't it be possible to save the file as a
.wav analog file and play that on demand? Or is the .wav way to big to
do
this?
It seems to me that other than file size, the .wav might be the closest
in
quality to the original vinyl.
I had not heard of this flac file type before. I gather it is a digital
more or less equivalent to the .wav file. Is that correct?
