I suppose having control externally would be a good thing to have... several versions ago.
And anyone complaining about not being able to play iTunes songs, I hope you don't ever perform with iTunes purchased songs. Even iTunes Plus songs are nowhere near the right quality to perform with. iTunes songs sound like crap coming out of big speakers.
It's a very good thing iTunes songs don't work.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "I suppose having control externally would be a good thing to have...", but since you seem to know what you are talking about, I assume that you mean that Native Instruments don't manufacture an external MIDI controller for Traktor.
I've heard similar thoughts from other Traktor users and while I agree that this argument has some merit, I do not entirely agree.
Why, you might ask? It's simple really. Traktor is a feature packed "beast" and as such, has a wide variety of users, where each one might use all or maybe just some features.
For instance, as I always use an external mixer I have absolutely no need for an external controller with a mixer section (which would make the controller bulkier/heavier/more expensive). Other users use nothing but the internal mixer and wouldn't look twice at a controller without a mixer section.
Meanwhile, other users rely heavily on scratching during their performances. I, on the other hand, only scratch when I have an itch somewhere ;-)
I could go on and on with more examples but I'm sure you get my drift.
I believe that building the perfect Traktor controller is an impossible task considering the wide user base and the different needs of the users and I completely understand NI for not offering one.
(The only "universal" controllers, and I use that term very carefully, that I have seen is the Lemur - http://www.jazzmutant.com/lemur_overview.php, and the Mawzer - http://mawzer.com/. But the Lemur require a winning Lottery ticket and the Mawzer is still, after several years, vaporware. Sigh...)
Presently, there are about a gazillion MIDI controllers on the market. Trust me, I have counted them ;-)
Each one with it's strengths as well as it's flaws. You need to find one that is right for you and your needs.
Personally, I still haven't found one that is exactly "right" for my needs so I muddle through with a combination of an external mixer, the keyboard of my laptop and an Oxygen8v2 MIDI keyboard.

It really sucks creating pl´s with traktor....this is a job itunes can do perfectly...so let itunes manage the music and traktor play it!!

There is a work-around though by first converting your DRM iTunes music to wav and then you can use this file or convert it to another format first.
