I'm not sure it's a wise idea to start distributing components from Windows Media Player, for a couple of reasons:
1. I'm pretty sure you aren't allowed to.
2. What happens if an older version (or newer!) is installed and you blast away one of the components required for media player to run properly
3. If you don't blast it away, what happens to your program if a newer version is installed (say, version 15)
I would recommend having Windows Media Player a prerequisite for your application.

Under COM in your references:
Windir/System32/wmp.dll
This can be added to your tool box as a normal contro,if your like via Tools|Choose Toolbox items|Com| Windows Media Player
If you are serious about programming this, I recommend that you read the documentation on mcisendstring.
Good Luck

Vb6 worked on a COM model the Component Object Model. This was unmanaged code and was also machine specific. But the com model was really a specification describing an interface not designed for multiple platforms. Objects run in windows environment and interop is an interface that allows you to execute and talk to these objects.
