I'm not sure it's still relevant but when I tried it, it only worked when the code ran not in the main thread, i.e., this.InvokeRequired == false

So, I would advice you try something like:

ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(
             delegate(object param)
             {
                 WMPLib.WindowsMediaPlayer player = new WMPLib.WindowsMediaPlayer();
                 player.URL = "song.mp3";                     
             });

player.controls.play() is not needed since the player is set to auto play.

I'm not sure as to why the main thread won't play correctly but I hope this will help.
