I like Windows Media Player

Dissapointed Windows Media Center is to be discontinued, but here are some good alternatives for Windows Media Player are

• WinAmp (Discontinued The project seems to be no longer developed) Still can be downloaded and used
• MPC-HC (Discontinued As announced in their official news) Still can be downloaded and used
• Foobar2000 Plays all media and very lightweight 
• VLC Media Player (Great for all types of media, but no library menu)
• MVP Media Player (Open Source) Lightweight 
• SMP Player Free Open Source software and AD Free, Lightweight and customisable
• PotPlayer (very customisable)
• MediaMonkey (freemium software)
• ITunes Need i said anything?
  

thanks for sharing britec09

There are always better performing alternatives than in using Windows software utilities.

I did like WMP but for some reason whilst playing music, it kept jumping. Not sure why. After seeing the list you provided, I opted for
foobar2000 and it's nice and light with no jumping of tracks.

Yeah that's a good choice.

I am currently using Windows media player on Windows 10 1709 version. If Microsoft dumps it, will it get automatically deactivated/deleted?

I would guess it would be deleted
