Rhythmbox doesn't make local copies of any files. It only copies the 
data of the files (where they are, artist/album/trackname, format, etc.) 
and saves it to your local music library database. Unless you have 
Rhythmbox somehow set to organize all of your music into a specific 
folder (I'm not sure if it was Rhythmbox or Banshee or Songbird that 
have this feature) then it isn't copying anything over locally.
