The media player should not be inside the ItemTemplate since you will be playing only one sound at a time I believe (it would be costly to have a media element for eaach item). So you should move the MEdiaaPlayer outside and on button click do:

private void Play_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
   Button button=sender as Button;
   Player.Source=((Item)button.DataContext).SongUrl
  Player.play(); (unable to get Media Element name) 
}
