By default, the Amazon MP3 Downloader application will automatically add downloaded files to iTunes for you. Also by default, it doesn't clean up the downloaded files once they're copied into your iTunes library. You can correct this by changing the Downloader to use iTunes' built-in 'Add to iTunes' functionality.
In the Preferences of Amazon's MP3 Downloader app, do this:
- Change the 'Save Downloads To' directory to the 'Automatically Add to iTunes' sub-folder of your iTunes Media folder.
- Uncheck 'Add downloaded tracks to iTunes.'
The next time you download an Amazon MP3 purchase, a dialog will appear when complete telling you where to find your files. If you have it reveal the folder, no files will be there because they've already been added to iTunes. Therefore, check the 'Never show again' box of this dialog.
iTunes will now automatically add any files put in this folder and delete them when done, so you no longer have to worry about duplicates lying around.
