I am having the same problem. All my music is in My Music folder including itunes folder. All i want to do is tell itunes where it is but itunes keeps copying the files to its own folder, so mi end up with 2 files for everything (1 in MY Music folder and 1 in Itunes folder)?

Please tell me i can get round this as i prefer the way windows media player files my music and as it is all mp3 then i dont understand why itunes cant just know where it is instead of needing its own copy.?

Scrap that last comment. have just found the option under preferences so have delselected.

found under
Edit
Preferences
Advanced
then deselect the option to copy all files added to library and then just add folder to library from the file menu and select My music (or which ever folder has the desired files in)
