Floppies went the way of the dodo bird.  They are nearly extinct.  Use 
USB flash drives instead.  :)  They are larger and faster.

You can get USB floppy drives.  Although you may need a modern BIOS to 
boot from USB.

Hopefully your speakers and USB spotlight don't need software drivers too.

In a few years, even small/medium-sized hard drives will be gone too, 
replaced by flash-based drives.  Can't wait!
