I imagine that the process by which this happens damages or destroys the drive in question?

[CoolNapkins]

@BroatioCaine Yes it does. Completely burned out one drive the first time I tried it and the driver install has about 5 warnings about ha

I would like to hear music from a cd drive

Aww it was struggling a touch with Mario..

[computerstuff4ever]

What ver of Tetris is that?

[thesourceofx]

@BroatioCaine actually it doesn't usually. The drives use stepper motors which are designed to move in a way that coincidentally produces tones. I've seen many drives last a very long time being used like this. But floppy drives are a very old tech, so it's understandable that they have a high failure rate today.
