using iTunes without duplicating all my music

Is it possible to access my music collection through iTunes without importing my MyMusic folder to iTunes? I would like to leave my songs exactly as they are, but have access to them through iTunes so that I may sync songs to my iPod shuffle. I use WinAmp to listen to my music and would like to keep that the way it is.

note: I'm using Windows XP.

Thanks,
Bryan
