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.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

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].

There are no good player out there.

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.

It Depends.
I personally like Music Bee for my 'ahhhhhh' collection of music I 'found' in the 90's
WinAmp was great. Still ok.
VLC is great for converting stuff but not for playlists and things.
Music Bee works for PodCasts and other things as well. I just like it.
Your mileage may vary of course.

WinAmp's Smart Views were a huge organizational tool, once I figured them out. Have used it ever since, and like Sander, haven't upgraded because 5.666 just works. But don't use it on the phone, since it stuttered for some reason. Playlists created from Smart Views are copied over though, and work fine...

The music is just perfect. I don't like the singer though - neither his voice neither the way he sings, I find it half emo half "The Cure".

Lol, that's what makes it distinctive for me.
But I guess it's one of those love/hate things.

Of course it is. I like Van Canto, my wife can't really stand them.
