and in response to the original question; i turn off the auto-library management in itunes prefs.. pretty easy to stay ontop of it yourself.. personally as a heavy file-sharer i find it way easier to manage my downloading habits and file my mp3's in my own folder system. as long as the mp3 files stay on the same disk itunes won't lose track of them, so your free to file away your collection into folders however you like.
unless you're using itunes to rename files and folders there's no point in having it copy your files to it's own library, just means you gotta do an extra step and trash originals. plus i don't like how itunes names folders.. over time a "artist - album" system makes far more sense.
- oh and either way you'll still be left with an "intunes" folder in you home directory which can pretty much be ignored.. where the app saves its .xml and whatever.. also podcasts will still end up in here, but they're easy enough to manage and trash within the itunes app.
horton - ... the lib .xml is saved. also podcast end up in here but they're easy enough to manage and trash within itunes.horton
