Tape Led not turn off #6

IMG_20220820_021522 Hi. It would be helpful in tape loading for some games (Hawkeye, Flimbo Quest, etc) if the tape progress bar indicates whether the tape is running (P) or stopped (S). The problem basically is that when loading from tape the second time (side b, stage, etc). The Led sometimes indicating reading, does not turn off when changing files, which leads to confusión. The funny thing is that when the load is finished, the LED turns off. All the best.

The LED indicates when the tape motor gets power, which is under CPU control. Thus the loader software itself turns it on/off. Maybe it can be AND'ed with the state of the (virtual) play/stop button(s).
