Re: Really strange problem with winamp 5.07
Hi, Here is the official answer about this from Gracenote. Very sad, but 100 % reliable. Best regards Brian 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.

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
