Problem.. idtags passing to unknkown

Guys.. i have a problem with my old :) 2.81

The winamp is passing some of the tags to unknown.. how can I solve this»? I have already reinstalled but it's the same...

Thanks,
Pedro Oliveira

Tech support for older Winamps is not usually provided, so please consider upgrading to Winamp 5.

Anyways, do you have WMP9? WMP9 has a "feature" (or bug) that adds/updates ID3 tags by searching the Internet. If it can not find the needed info, the tag fields are left blank. This is done surreptitiously in the background. Winamp prior to 2.9x & 5.x displays "unknown" for blank fields. To prevent WMP from overwriting the MP3 tags...

WMP9 -> Tools - > Options -> both "Media Library" AND "Privacy" tabs:
Uncheck: "Update my music files by retreiving missing media information from the Internet"

Yeah, thanks a lot, but i have just done like you've said firstly, i upgraded to 5.0 :)

Bye and Thanks :)
