First, check your new media players settings - It might have a setting to take over all files it is capable of playing.
You can instead right-click any media file, select 'open with' and then 'choose program'. Select the new player and tick 'Always use selected program..'
Another way is to open any folder, click 'tools' then 'folder options' then select the 'file types' tab where you can change associations0
