I've set up a network between my PC and my new Macbook

My music folder on my PC is shared and I can connect to it from my Macbook, but when I select files to play from there, it copies them over to my iTunes folder

Is there any way to stop this from happening? Cause my HDD is pretty small and already filling up quite fast!

Click to expand...

iTunes Preferences > Advanced > "Copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" [uncheck]

Should do the job!
