If your "temporary" files are easily separable in a folder, etc. why don't you just change the default app that opens those mp3 file to be VLC instead of iTunes? Use the contextual menu (VO-keys+Shift+M) on your selection(s), VO-keys down arrow and choose "Always Open With", then VO-keys right arrow to the submenu and choose VLC. The Mac differs from Windows in that each file can have a different default app that it opens in. I'd guess that if you added the file to iTunes, the default app would automatically change from VLC to iTunes, but I'd do an experiment. Cheers, Esther
