I’ve inherited a bunch of old 78 vinyl records from my granddad, and I’m just about to start transferring them to mp3. I haven’t heard any of them yet, but by the look of it, there’s no point bothering with flac / ape-formats - they haven’t been treated with much love, it seems.

But it’ll be interesting - there’s some old jazz, like Duke Ellington and Dizzy Gillespie. Mostly it’s obscure names, though, probably easy listening. There’s stuff like “Ben Light with instrumental accompaniment”, “Bobby Page and His Musical Pages” and “Peter Kreuder, piano with rhythm”.

Hm - piano with rhythm - is that referring to rhythmic piano playing or to an actual rhythm section, I wonder? This is exciting for me - I’ve always loved digging into all kinds of musical obscurities.
