Here's a starting point that I hope is helpful.

If you're using v8.6 on the FP use Controls/.Net & ActiveX/Windows Media Player. This will give you a container that support the functionality of WMP. Using Property and Invoke Nodes with the Reference it provides gives you complete access to WMP. If you're not using 8.6 -- but an earlier version -- some don't have this container pre-defined for you but that's not a problem. Just drop an ActiveX container and then point it to WMP.

There are a number of examples available online.
