Media Player: Can't use the latest version of it

I dug up an old project that I made 2 years ago, and I found that the media player object I put on the form was gone. I put a media player back on, but this one looks all smooth and flashy compared to the old one I used to have... No complaints there, but the code doesn't work anymore, and I can't figure out how to use this thing.

The old way of getting Mediaplayer to play something was this:

Mediaplayer1.Filename = <some directory>
Mediaplayer1.Play

And that was it! Now, with this new component, its all so complicated! Why would they make it so much harder to use? Is there any way to use the old Media player component instead of the new one?
