There is a check box in iTunes preferences that says something to the effect of automatically import files into your iTunes library. If you de-select that box it should take care of this for you. Sorry for the lack of detail in my description. I'm not near a computer with iTunes at the moment so I can dive into the details at the moment.

Unchecking the "Copy files to iTunes library" button in Preferences only prevents an additional copy from getting stored in the iTunes Music folder. It does not stop the song from having an entry in the Library.

iTunes tends to assume that every piece of audio should be represented in its Library-- it's OS X's "audio clearinghouse", if you will.

My recommendation is that, instead of iTunes, you make QuickTime Player the default application for individual audio tracks. (Alternately, if you have Leopard, you can use Quick Look for instant listening.)
