Actually for me it does not matter. If I need something it' sin iTunes. I can 
also consolidate in to 1 place, the iTunes folder then enter it through the 
back door method of browsing and play it in vlc if I wanted to.. or sort by 
date modified and then get rid of things from x days ago  and leave the copy in 
the media folder. so as you can see it is a Swiss army knife of managing media.

Take care all.
