Pause button should be changed to a Stop button #79

The pause button is misleading. A pause button would indicate that you are pausing at a moment in time and when you start playing again things pick up from that moment in time that you paused it. But this is not the case. Users are listening to a stream and if they select the pause button and the start playing minutes later they will be connected to the stream at its current location, not where they paused it at. The more accurate action that is being done is you are stopping (or turning off the radio) rather than pausing it.

On physical radios you don't have a pause button. You can just turn it on or off, not pause it. It should better follow that model as that is what is taking place.
