That's unusual. Also, I do not feel that labeling the "Pause" button
"Stop" is an improvement. It doesn't add extra functionality, pause does
exist on players where "Stop" is "Pause and go back".

What I meant is the eject button in front of your CD-ROM drive rather
than the (software) one in the interface. Will that also work?
