How old are the albums? Because if they need to be played at 78RPM then your going to need a special turntable. The only one I know if in current production is the Rega Planar 78.

If the albums are in good condition with little surface noise you can probably just get a good anti-static brush. There are a different schools of though on wet versus dry cleaning. I prefer dry cleaning, but I think it all depends on your ear.

I also prefer converting to flac or wav as mp3 sound muddy to me but that all depends on how you intend to listen to the convert audio.
