Obviously, you need a turntable that plays 78 rpm​, with the appropriate
cartridge and phono stage, which can be complicated with different RIAA
curves, etc.  If the 78 is mono, it might be best to use a mono cartridge.
Once you have an analog signal to digitize, the process is the same as for
33 or 45 rpm... obviously,...though why employ the dreadful MP3 codec, when
modern digital recording and data storage renders much higher resolution
digital audio formats very easy and cheap?

I recently read an article about the history of recorded music, which
declared MP3s to be the first time in the history of recorded music that a
widespread adopted music format resulted in a degradation of sound quality!

You might call Kimbrough Hall Room 360
