iTunes 10 for Mac: Add items to your library without copying them to your iTunes folder

To add files to your library without adding them to your iTunes folder: Choose iTunes > Preferences, and click Advanced. Deselect the “Copy files” checkbox. From now on, when you drag a file to your library or choose File > Add to Library, the item appears in iTunes, but the actual file isn’t copied or moved.
