Question : how to preview an mp3 without loading it to iTunes

Whenever I open an mp3 on my MAC, it loads it to the iTunes library.

How can I preview an mp3 without loading it to iTunes? Sometimes I just want to listen to an audio file once, and that's it. Delete it. It gets a little complicated when it loads it to the iTunes library.

I have OS X Snow Leopard
