Q: I want to create mp3 files but have them stored automatically in a different directory -- without them becoming duplicates in my iTunes

I want to create mp3 files but have them stored automatically in a different directory -- without them becoming duplicates in my iTunes.  Right now my process is elaborate.  What I do is:

-- buy new album on iTunes

-- create mp3 version

-- copy whole file into another directory

-- delete mp3 version in file used by iTunes

-- delete AAC version in file used by Media player

-- delete titles of mp3 versions (now "empty") in iTunes

 

So, I gather there is a way to make mp3 versions so that they do not appear as duplicates in iTunes... but would like to know that way.  Read somewhere that I just need to create a different folder (or file?) for iTunes to do something with.
