I use Nero Showtime for most of my videos. It has time scroll. Scroll your wheel and it is equal to forward or reverse 20 sec according to the direction. For incompatible formats I use VLC. Never found anything better.

What media player do you use to play music on your PC?

Please share your experiences.

To start things off:

I use Winamp mainly because of its media library and playlist features.

I use Media Player Classic- Home Cinema with K- Lite Mega Codec Pack. It plays every music and video format I have tried. It is simple, easy to use and customizable. Also uses less memory(I think). And Totem Movie Player with GStreamer plugins for Ubuntu.

I use mplayer because of its extensive features as do majority of macOSX users ( its frontend smplayer).
You can decode & encode vids on it.

Also I oppose Windows media players as do majority of linux & mac OS X user (it can be run on linux using playonlinux or crossover or wine.). Reason :-
DRM (due to which even Sony( which introduced it for copyright protection) is boycotted by many).

PS: These are opinions & opinions are changing due to change in time.

There was never any DRM issues with any windows media player. Due to DRM a person is forced to use windows media player which is an unfair practice. That's why I don't use WMP.
