You are creating Windows 31 Media Player Object Model Reference :O Are sure what you are doing here? — Smartis has left SO again, Jun 19 '13 at 07:18
Your Array contains not 31 Media Players, it only has 31 Reference to the same WMP ActivX Control. PLEASE Read the SDK: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd564680(v=vs.85).aspx — Smartis has left SO again, Jun 19 '13 at 07:25
may be the dll connection was not proper. once check and do.. if not , remove the dll set completely and add it again properly. — Chandu puthra, Jun 19 '13 at 07:20

The problem is, that you create multiple instances of the control and let them all play one song. You should just create one instance add all songs to the "CurrentPlaylist" and then let the control play it:

WindowsMediaPlayer player = new WindowsMediaPlayer;

        for (int i = 1; i < 30; i++)
        {
            IWMPMedia media = player.newMedia( @"C://Songs//m" + i + ".mp3");
            player.currentPlaylist.appendItem(media);                
        }

        player.controls.play();

how to generate random number in between. So, that the player should play random songs.Is it possible?. If possible then please provide me the code... — user2499953, Jun 28 '13 at 03:48
