Previously users could press the Cortana’s music icon to identify a song when it is playing in the background. Now, Cortana has no Groove library to check songs against. So, it says “Song unrecognized” and informs users that the feature has been retired.

Later one of Microsoft’s Cortana Team Engineer also confirmed on Twitter by saying, “What you are seeing is expected. Due to the shutdown of the Groove Music service, Cortana music recognition has also been retired.”

I am sure you can also understand why the feature was dropped. When it has no library to back this feature, it cannot help.
