Best Media Player?

hay guys.

I've been using winamp to play all my music files and zoomplayer for my videos without knowing why.

In what way is windows media player inferior to other media players?

WMP sucks because it phones home, it delivers advertisement, and its data files contain executable content (malware ahoy). Also, there was a big woohaboob about the unannounced license change in 2002, which basically allows Microsoft to come into your hardware and rape your data anally.
