Not much of an opinion I'm afraid, long ago, in XP times I was very fond of the Windows MediaPlayer and had everything categorized nicely and added missing covers, but ... after updating to Windows 7 my whole configuration was gone !
You can guess what I think now of the Windows MediaPlayer, never used it again, I rely on an old IPod Touch to play my mp3 files

heh. You're as bad as me.
In my kitchen, I've got a pair of ancient-but-decent left-over computer speakers and an old, cheap-as-dirt mp3 player hanging down from them. They do the trick, so I've never even considered replacing them.

 Old speakers never die. I have the same set up. funny.

I used to prefer one that I won't name, because it became adware, but Quintessential Media Player (dev discontinued, but it works, so they stopped fixing it) is, to me, nicer to use than winamp, and there are lots of others that are good -- foobar 2000, kmplayer, etc.

I liked how Spotify automatically keeps the same playlist on my telephone as on my pc.

Hell yeah I still use it!
It's the first item on my taskbar 
The "new future for Winamp" was announced back in 2014 or 2015 or something, but nothing changed for years.
This new v5.8 is the first I've heard since then, but maybe I'll just stick to v5.666 because it work fine for me 
Now I WOULD be willing to try a new v6!

It has treated me right since I switched from WMP back in 2000/2001

Cheers!
You know there were times, I aspired to write some basic plugins for Winamp. It never happened though.

It's mutual !
I just gave WinAmp the second chance. It's been doing fairly well

I have almost always used and still use Winamp for music. During a time I used "mpc star" but it didn't convinced me and went back to Winamp.
If Winamp is the best media player or not... I can't tell. But it is the one I like most.

I use MediaMonkey largely becasue it runs on my Android device and on Windows.

I actually can't remember the last time I played any media on my PC that wasn;t in it's own player/app [e.g. spotify, youtube].

I know...
If all you know is iTunes, then yeah, you'd think all players suck. As far as I understand it, iTunes is universally despised on Windows, which you'd think would be surprising given that it's pretty much necessary if you use Apple's hardware without an actual Apple desktop or laptop.
It's my firm belief that Apple is so petty, even though they have all the money in the world, they do NOT want to spend the resources to make a good product for any competitor's OS. Even though they have way more people using iTunes on Windows than MacOS.

I still use WinAmp after many years. I tried Windows Media player and hated it.

Paid a visit to your site and viewed the photo gallery, nice photo's
Especially the one with tea cup and books, that seems to be light reading (Das Kapital).
I once visited the German town of Trier where I stumbled upon the birth house of Karl Marx, didn't visit it though 
Well maybe next time when I'm in the neighbourhood ...

Thanks for the kind words, glad you liked the photos, still working on putting more up. The shot you speak of was taken at an antique store, the owner had set up quite a few of these settings and I really liked them. Never noticed name of book.

I consider WMP to be more than adequate for my needs so I've never tried anything else.
Last weekend I revived an old personal project to catalogue my music files into my own database. Part of it uses the album cover image downloaded/used by WMP.

That's a subjective question. Perhaps you'd be better off asking, "What's you're preferred media player and why?".

I haven't tried enough of them to decide on a best one. I still use WinAmp though because it is easy for me. I have over 240GB of music, all categorized and sorted by performer and album, and I find WinAmp to be very simple to deal with it all. WMP was useless with my music so I bagged it long ago.
