iTunes library files get counted twice for memory usage

I noticed that I'm running low on hard drive space. When I checked to see what's taking up so much memory, the system reports that I have 187GB in Documents, but also a similar amount in my iTunes library. The files under the documents tab are all things in my iTunes library, yet they are also counted as documents. Effectively, they are being counted twice when my computer calculates how much hard drive space is being used. What gives?

I tried copying all of my iTunes files to an external hard drive, then deleting the iTunes folder on my computer and importing them manually. Same problem. I checked to see if there were duplicate files lingering, but I can't find any.
