If I understand correctly, you mean that {mev} is intransitive ? 

Meaning that I can't say {bom vImev} for "I stop the song" ? And I can only say {bom vImevmoH} ?

It has been used both ways.

bIjatlh 'e' yImev Shut up! (TKD)
The thing stopped is the object.

not mev peghmey Secrets never cease. (PK)
The thing stopped (or not, in this case) is the subject.

tagh start has been used both ways, too:

taghbej mu'qaD veS Curse warfare has definitely begun. (CK)
The thing that gets started is the subject.

Qu' DataghDI' 'aqtu' mellota' je tIqaw When you begin a mission, remember Aktuh and Melota. (TKW)
The thing that gets started is the object.

So, barring any further data, you can say either bom vImev or bom vImevmoH.
