No. That puts your computer and the hard drive to sleep.

"Where you put it..."? Not clear on that, but poke around in your iTunes prefs. There's a setting that will make a copy of all your tunes into the iTunes Music Folder to keep them organized (that's probably what it's on). I would recommend keeping it at that setting, but trashing the extras. So what you would do is drag the music into iTunes and delete the originals. Done, and done.
