When a URL's is streamed in winamp which requires HTTP authentication, the user is 
prompted to enter a username and password.  This username and password is then stored 
as plain text in the file winamp.ini under the section [HTTP-AUTH].  The format of 
stored passwords (it seems) is <domain - TLD>=<username>:<password>.
 
URL's which are streamed are also kept as history in the winamp.ini file under the 
[winamp] section.  This includes URL's which include the username/password in them 
(ie, http://username:password@site).
 
This was verified in Winamp 2.80 on Windows XP.
