The problem is that there's no mention of the checkbox anywhere in the
text in SN (although SC has the required explanation):

"Enter your Last.fm username and password. Multiple accounts may be
entered if you wish to submit tracks from different players to
different accounts.

To access Last.fm Radio, you must first authorize your account. To do
this, click the "Authorize this account" link and you will be taken to
the Last.fm website. If necessary, login to Last.fm with the account
you wish to authorize, and then click the button marked "Yes, allow
access". After doing this, you will be redirected back to
SqueezeNetwork and your account will be authorized for radio access."

It's confusing because users naturally expect a checkbox as requiring
to be ticked to enable something (that's certainly my experience as a
web developer), particularly when the text next to it says '<username>
(Authorized for Last.fm Radio)'. It seems counterintuitive to me, and
without an explanation just confusing and frustrating.
