I never claimed it magically goes in reverse? It just spins backwards for a couple of millimeters with the added non-benefit of there being a scratching sound associated with it. As you can see and hear happening in the videos I’ve linked.
Here is me stopping the platter manually, and it “magically” going in reverse even though i helped it coming to a complete stop: https://youtu.be/ETaQh3VEIM8?t=70
Its hard to film it using one hand, but hopefully it helps.
I don’t want the music to immediately stop when i press pause, i understand that there is a scratch sound as the track is shutting off regardless of stop time, that is not what bothers me. What this whole thread (and this one: 5000m - when stopping the platter, it still moves a little (which makes noise) - #22 by Wyley1) is about, is the sound that comes from the motor rebound after the track and spinning of the platter has come to a stop.
What i can gather from the responses so far is that this is a feature, not a bug then. Its still mildly frustrating.
