      Yes I understand that but in most software they don’t have seperate play and pause buttons but rather only one which swaps symbols when you click and so for me when I want to know whether it is currently playing I just look at the button.

        Generally I just either watch the screen or listen to the audio to know if it’s currently playing, but maybe that’s just me

        You should know that you don’t just look at the play/pause button to just know the file is playing, you can know the playing status from other UI elements, for example, status bar (“playing example.file”, “pause”, “stop”), progress bar, timer and others… Right?
