Using iTunes for burning CDs

Since my Audio 10 crapped out, I thought I’d burn some CDs and pop over to my mate’s place during the week to play with his CDJs. So I thought I’d use iTunes to make playlists and burn the CDs.

iTunes decided to duplicate my entire music collection in a folder of it’s own (located inside my music folder), which caused Traktor to import all these duplicates and leaving me with a huge headache.

So I wonder, do you use iTunes for burning CDs, together with a Traktor collection, and is there a way to tell iTunes to stop messing with the actual files (and just allow me to organize them and put them in playlists)?

Yes -

in preferences → Advanced Tab → uncheck copy to itunes media folder when adding to library → uncheck “keep iTunes media folder organized.”
