Description

Adding a sound effect or some kind of audio indication that Aaru has finished whatever task it was working on.

Context

I do a lot of multi-tasking when I'm dumping discs. With DIC, it's pretty straight-forward because when I hear its little beeps, I just pause my current task and switch back real quick to type up any needed metadata, change discs, start a new dump, and then continue on with my other work. With Aaru, I'm always having to guess (using sounds/lights of the disc drive, not really reliable), which leads to a lot of wasted time, as well as repeated window-swapping to check on it, which is ultimately a big pace & focus-breaker with the other things I'm working on. It would be immensely helpful to me to have some kind of clear audio indication that Aaru has finished its current task and is ready for another. And I'm sure other users would find a lot of benefit in this feature as well.

Documentation

I'm sorry, I don't think I have anything that would be helpful here.
