iTunes organzing my music folder

Is there a way to tell iTunes how you want your music folder organized? It is very annoying to have itunes destroy my music folder by sorting everything into artist/cd/#-title.mp3 i like to have all the songs by an artist in artist and the names to be artist - song.mp3. This is the way that all of my playlists (for winamp) have been setup as well. The main thing that bothers me is that iTunes, when I import my library, will either re-organize my music folder corrupting all of the playlists i have made, or if i dont let it organize my folder when i go to import the playlists it just adds duplicates.

What can i do?

itunes 4.1.1 shouldn?t do that anymore. go to edit > preferences > advanced and de-select keep itunes folders organized. that should solve your problem.
