Add Files to iTunes without Copying to Music Folder
Authored by: nickv2002 on Oct 03, '07 08:25:48PM

Also note that this behavior is dependent on enabling "Copy Files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" [in iTunes 7 this is] under the Advanced -> General preferences (which is on by default). If this option is disabled the option key will reverse it's behavior (in effect causing the added file to be copied to the library folder when normally it would not be).

I can also confirm that this key switching behavior has been around since the iTunes had the ability to automatically add files to the library and keep it sorted (which I think came in around iTunes 4 or so).
