You don't need to provide username+password for the startup mode
'automatically run at system start'. The Windows SYSTEM account is used
in this case.
But this might need additional measures if your music files are not on
local disks or can be accessed with a specific user account only.

Whatever you're using for ripping, you probably want to keep on using
