How do i work with windows media player from another form?

Question

So i have 2 forms, one is called "musica" and its playing a music (this form is invisible) and the other is called "Form1" and gives the option to stop and start the music with radio buttons.

The problem is that the radio buttons are working, but the video continues even if i click on "radionButton2" and if i use the "stop()" function on "musica_load" the music stops so i don't think the problem is from there either.

What is my mistake here?

Form1 code:

musica mus = new musica();
private void radioButton1_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (radioButton1.Checked == true)
        {
            mus.play();

        }
    }

    private void radioButton2_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (radioButton2.Checked == true)
        {
            mus.stop();

        }
    }

musica code:

    public void play()
    {
            axWindowsMediaPlayer1.Ctlcontrols.play();
    }
    public void stop()
    {
            axWindowsMediaPlayer1.Ctlcontrols.stop();
    }

No, like the stop() method the play() method doesn't work in Form1.. — John Saints, Jun 07 '17 at 13:49

// Form1.cs

    musica mus;
    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        mus = new musica();
    }

    private void radioButton1_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

        if (radioButton1.Checked == true)
        {
            mus.Play(); ;
        }
    }

    private void radioButton2_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (radioButton2.Checked == true)
        {
            mus.Stop();
        }
    }

//Musica.cs

    public musica()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    public void Play()
    {
        MessageBox.Show("Play");
    }

    public void Stop()
    {
        MessageBox.Show("Stop");
    }

This works fine there must be some problem with the Play and Stop methods.

They work fine in musica.cs, if this method doesn't work do you know a way to do what i want? — John Saints, Jun 07 '17 at 13:51

Answer: The problem was that i was opennig both forms simultaneously at the start of the program and for some reason they can't work between each other, if i open the musica.cs in Form1_load everything works!
