Should a toggle button show its current state or the state to which it will change? (ux.stackexchange.com)

My rule is if it's a Verb, then what it will do: "Enable", "Join/Leave", "Turn on/off", "Play/Pause"

If it's an adjective, noun or description of a state, then the condition is what is written. ON/OFF, Enabled, Joined/Left, "Repeating 1/Repeating ALL/Repeat OFF"

Shuffle/Random Play is ambiguous, but it's either Shuffle ON, Shuffle OFF like the second category, or Shuffle/Unshuffle as the first category.

E: Added the media player example from the original thread.

If it's a verb it should be a button, not a toggle
