This is how I do it. Add the following:

<MediaElement x:Name="meSong" />

This is added in the constructor:

meSong.MediaEnded += new RoutedEventHandler(meSong_MediaEnded);

This is how I loop the song once it has ended:

private void meSong_MediaEnded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    meSong.Position = TimeSpan.Zero;
    meSong.Play();
}

This is how I set my song:

private void SetSong(string selectedSong)
{
    if (ViewModel.IsMusicOn)
    {
        try
        {
            meSong.Stop();

            meSong.Source = new Uri(string.Format("Media/Sounds/{0}.wav", selectedSong), UriKind.Relative);
            meSong.Position = new TimeSpan(0);
            meSong.Volume = 0.5;
        }
        catch (Exception)
        {
            // nothing for now
        }
    }
}

And this is how you obviously start your music:

meSong.Play();
