I think I did associate mp3 files with media player for a bit. To prevent double clicking an mp3 from opening winamp and overwriting my playlist while I was maintaining it by hand. It would save on exit (maybe even on change as I don’t recall losing changes to crashes, though they were rare), but if you loaded a different playlist (or a single mp3 “playlist”), then the previously loaded one was gone so hopefully you remembered to save.
Later on I just used the library and my star ratings for each song, plus some filters, to auto generate my playlist and no longer needed WMP.
I sometimes used the old one to play music that I didn’t want going into ITunes as it had an easier to use playlist than VLC did (at the time at least)
Why would anyone be using windows media player?
Sometimes people just use what’s pre-installed. The last time I used Windows Media Player was in Vista. It was fine though.
