here i am labelling floppy drive seek sounds.
i used a batch script and the greaseweazle utility to record a TEAC FD-55 seeking back and forth, starting with track 1 and 40, then back to track 2, then back to track 39. In this manner i could capture all seeks from 39 to 1 tracks.
unfortunately, seeking backwards sounds different than seeking forwards, but i'm not really going to sweat that right now since i will eventualy need to redo all the sounds with an original Tandon drive, anyway.
this is tedious but i spent longer trying to get the label sounds plugin to work

to play floppy sounds in the emulator I'm adding a new crossbeam channel that sends a PresentableDeviceEvent enum. a PresentableDeviceEvent is something the front end can, well, present. That may be via playing a sound, or displaying the status of an LED, or such. Use your imagination! For the moment it's just gonna be drive sounds.
