The main use would be that it is closer to what people already know from
the real world.

I do not know what the behavior would be, but if this makes it stop
spinning, it still needs to play immediately when you press play again
(that's what "pause" is for, right?). So that is probably not completely
possible, there will always be a difference between "Pause" and "Stop".

Well, you usually want to use that if you plan on listening on later and
hold the window up. I move away from my PC, so press "Stop". I come back
to my PC so press "Play" again - of course, it shouldn't start in the
midst of a song in that case.

> - Paranoia before ejecting the CD (just in case!)

You certainly would not eject the CD when you want "Stop" instead, so
Stop is not important as an eject button. But when a CD does not play,
the hardware eject needs to be unlocked.
