Showing How the motor Stops operating in Fast-forwarding and rewinding without releasing the buttons as it is Not neccessary to do so as the Tape in the cassette in not in contact with the capstan and pinch roller.  However when in Play mode; this Does release the depressed button and also stops in play mode as this is required to protect the tape from being bent or formed between the capstan and pinchroller as this would cause harm to both the tape in the cassette and possibly cause the tape from the cassette to become interwinded into the mechanism of the cassette player and or become ( Eaten ) as it is commonly referred to.
