John, that checkbox won't help him as although iTunes won't move
things to the library, it adds them to the music playlist with their
existing location. For example, I have a folder that I've set up for
saving voicemail attachments from Mail. Whenever I play them in
iTunes, they get sucked into the playlist although they don't move to
the itunes library location. I've submitted a suggestion that Apple
include a "do not import" checkbox to prohibit new media from
automatically getting imported, but of course it remains to be seen if
it'll ever be included.

I'm not sure if this will help, but as mentioned a few times
before, there is a checkbox in iTunes preferences under the advance
tab where you can not have items moved to the library. Again, I don't
know if this is what you were looking for, and I have not messed with
it yet.
Take Care

The vm messages are my latest itunes nucence. For some reason they
don't preview in quicklook, which would be wonderful. I usually
only just need to right down a date or time or ocasionally a phone
number, then I want the message to disappear. This saving, opening
in itunes, adding it to my library, listening, deleting, and
removing from library, it's the long way around.
I'm home this weekend, and one of my projects is going to be to sort
out my media. I need to burn a tonne of stuff, and i'm going to
move all my albums onto the macbook so I can take them back to
Toronto with me. I've decided I don't want 1200 albums librafied,
but what really sparked me off was when I accidentally hit the rong
button on the buss the other day and over 600 audiobook tracks got
slammed into my itunes library. Oh my goondness it was rather a
large mess, and only myself to blaim.
Best,
Erik

you know you could do what i do for voicemail messages, that's save
the vm messages, and not open them yet just press space to listen
to them in the quick look. Also you could select all files in
audiobooks, and do command I and tell it to skip tracks. I am cool
with vlc, but one thing i use it for is .avi files and also i dont
know how to set up play lists in it.

Well guys, it's byebye itunes for me. I will probably use it as a
pod catcher, since it works quite well in that regard, but it's
VLC for me from now on. I'm sick of it importing my voice mail
messages and audiobooks into my music library, and all the other
rediculous clouning around it does just to listen to music.
Glad that's over... Fwew!
