MP3 is a software format, CD-R is a hardware format. The question is:
what's the resolution of the MP3 files? Anything at or above 192 kbps is
generally good enough. Most CD creation progams will burn an MP3 to an
audio disk.

I doubt it, to put it mildly. Most software programs can't slow down or
speed up a piece of music by more than 10% without introducing
undesirable artifacts into the sound, and converting a 78 RPM recording
to 33 and then back to 78 RPM is two conversions, not one. I would be
very surprised if the end result sounded anywhere near as good as the
original.
