Max, you mention that some programs allow the playing of a 78 rpm record at either 33 or 45 and then translating the recording to the higher speed. These do work in a pinch, but so far, the ones I've played with don't make the conversion exactly, the final result is a bit flat. They're not including decimal points somewhere in the conversion. Also, recording at a very low speed may put some bass notes below the point where the system responds flatly. If you're serious about such a project, get a decent turntable that plays 78's. They don't cost all that much, and some have direct digital input into your soundcard as well as variable speed and, some, like my Stanton, have built-in software that allows changing the speed of the turntable while retaining the pitch. It takes a pretty large change before you hear any aliases.
