Yeah, Chris, I totally agree and the stupid sign up had a CAPTCHA thingy, which
caused me a pain in my ... , so I got out of the damned thing! I don't use
Mazilla's CAPTCHA help, so this was puzzling; it does not seem to affect Win
Amp, at all!
Regards,

I wouldn't worry about this at all. This is meant for folks who use the
library extensively and have an account set up on their system, which I do not,
accept for buying Winamp pro, and they send you somewhere else for that.
Bottom line, if you don't remember setting up a Winamp account on their site,
do nothing and just use Winamp as always.
I don't know why they need all that extra crap now, because Winamp is fine
without it.

Subject: Upgrading Winamp User System
Dear Winamp User,
Nullsoft will be upgrading Winamp.com to a more robust and secure
registration and authentication system on or around May 13.
The new Winamp authentication system will also support the Screen Name
Service ("SNS"), a service owned and operated by Nullsoft's parent company AOL
LLC ("AOL"). These upgrades will allow all Winamp users to access AOL products
and services, while also allowing existing AOL users to access Winamp services.
As a part of the upgrade, we have updated our authentication page (
www.winamp.com/user/login) to allow AOL users to login natively, and we have
enabled the SNS service on your Winamp Account. You can continue to use your
existing Winamp name and password at the current login page.
However, as part of the upgraded authentication process, the first time you
login with your SNS-enabled account you will be required to agree to AOL's
terms of service and privacy policy, which governs your use of SNS. If you
happen to be a current AOL user, and registered for Winamp with your AOL or AIM
screen name, then you can use your existing AOL screenname and password to log
into Winamp.
For more information about the new user system, take a look at the Winamp
blog ( http://blog.winamp.com/2009/05/07/winamp-upgrades-user-identity-system
)..
Thanks for your help,
