Hi,
Here is the official answer about this from Gracenote.
Very sad, but 100 % reliable.

Hello Brian,
Thank you for writing. The music lookup function on your Winamp application
is not working because the software developer unfortunately has not renewed
their license to use the Gracenote music recognition service, and their
license term has now expired.
I found their forum page, which confirms this information:
http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?t=377496
If you would like to continue accessing Gracenote's music recognition
service, you can look around. Other popular licensed applications include
iTunes and products by Sony, Creative, Samsung, Roxio and many others. Some
applications are freeware and some are commercial, and you can go to the
software developer's own web site for more information or to download.
I hope this helps.
Sincerely,
Sonia

I was afraid it was something like this! I haven't tried to play a CD in
Winamp, so may just try it on my end and see what it does!

Gracenotes, the company that used to provide that information to winamp, was
sold to another group. Therefore, none of the tagging features in Winamp
work any more. I don't see this being fixed any time soon.

Hi list,
I’m writing for a friend do have winamp and he uses version 5.07.
Until now it has presented the cd tracks fine, when he inserted a cd in the
drive.
But this functionality has stopped working. Now Jaws only says Artist
unknown, Album unknown and so on.
Any help will be highly apreciated.
He don’t wanna upgrade to the latest version as it has some issues. For
example it recognises all external drives as a portable music player and
wants to add them, which is annoying.
Best regards
Brian
