Yes.

Only if you're not letting iTunes organise your music for you - to check this see what your preferences in iTunes are set to (Advanced tab - Keep iTunes Media folder organised).

The other way to check this is to find a track that is in this folder in iTunes and do a Get Info. The Summary tab tells you at the bottom where it is playing from.

thank you. in the itunes advanced tab, it says the itunes media folder location is users/me/music/itunes/itunes media, and the box is checked to keep the itunes media folder organized. so does this mean i can delete the songs from the shared folder?

You need to see if this music is in the iTunes media folder..
If it is, you can delete it from the Shared folder.
