Audiogalaxy does not seem to have security as an immediate precedence...

The old audioglaxy would contain the userid and password as part of the URL allowing any proxy/cache admin to get hold 
of the account information (this seems to have been fixed)

And the non-cleartext entry in the ini file is encrypted very poorly (XOR with 255)

So all you can reiterate is - use a different password for audiogalaxy than everything else (which should be normal!)
