Thanks a lot mate. 

You just made my day. 
I have looked around the net but cannot find the controls available. 

I would like to be able to:
- get current playing track
- get wmplayer state (playing/paused/stopped)
- get the selected sound device

Thanks a lot

Deo

I've found that adding PlayItem and sleep seems to work:

#! python2.7
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from win32com.client import Dispatch
from time import sleep

mp = Dispatch("WMPlayer.OCX")
tune = mp.NewMedia(r"./plays.wav")
mp.CurrentPlaylist.AppendItem(tune)
mp.Controls.Play()
sleep(1)
mp.Controls.PlayItem(tune)
raw_input("Press Enter to stop playing")
mp.Controls.Stop()
