VirtualDJ font is too small on the record case and skins
VirtualDJ fonts are completely customizable and easy to modify. From what I know, Traktor has no provision for the user to easily modify fonts. The wide array of available VDJ Skins leaves Traktor way behind in this category. Heck, as you know VDJ even has a Traktor skin if you just can't get away from that Traktor look.

VirtualDJ record case does not support ID3 tags. This is a big deal since he has all of his collection organized with genre, album, year, etc.
The way a user organizes his collection is his personal preference. Although ID3 tags may be more convenient for some, those that use folders, file naming and playlist techniques to organize their library are just as effective.

VirtualDJ Supports more controller options than Traktor
This says a lot more for vDJ development than it does for tracktor's developers, doesn't it ?

Traktor Can not use effects like VirtualDJ
Again, an indication of how much Traktor developers listen to their users. I was a Traktor user at one time and this was a huge frustration point for me. Development completely ignore's user input.

Traktor has NO Skins at all, VirtualDJ has many skins
[:o)

Traktor scratching is limited and does not sound as realistic as VirtualDJ
I don't have much of an opinion here. I haven't scratched since I put down my 1200s.

Traktor is 100% stable, VirtualDJ crashed on us once
Shame on you Wireless. If you are going to bring your rig to a club to compare against the competitor, you should ensure that your system is a proven stable install of vDJ. There are many of us using vDJ for almost 2 years without crashing.....

Traktor has better master tempo quality than VirtualDJ and has three levels (low, medium, high)
ok

Traktor supports explorer based record case as well as ability to LOAD and save playlists
I don't know... what would you call vDJ's Explorer window ? Last time I checked I was able to load and save playlists in vDJ just fine. Maybe I misunderstand the point.

Traktor has a record case player to preview the track before loading to a deck
You should get to know vDJ a little better.... this functionality has been there for a long time (right click) ... also try using vDJ Playlist as a record case. ---

I still like VirtualDJ better than traktor but both of them have their positive and negative points.
