Okay so I have some songs I ripped off of a CD and they're in a folder I made. I added them to my iTunes library. If I delete the songs from the folder I kept them in will they disappear from my iTunes or does iTunes store another copy of the song somewhere else? I'm using Snow Leopard btw. Thanks in advance :D

It depends on whether you have these boxes checked or unchecked in iTunes > Preferences:
iTunes > Preferences > Advanced > organize & copy checkboxes.PNG
If you have "Copy files..." checked, you can delete the originals. If you don't, don't delete the originals. You can also "Get Info" on a song in iTunes to find out where the file is stored.
