That's because they're a malware company:
The solution is to not use their products. Use Linux.
I would use Linux if my primary reasons for using a computer worked properly. Games are a lot better these days than it was and always improving so there is light at the end of the tunnel in that respect but Traktor DJ software not so much.
As far as I know the only alternative on Linux is mixxx and that was just no where near as good the last time I used it. Maybe it is time to try it again......
I've never used Traktor but I like Mixxx. What problems did you have with it?
When I tried it last I had problems fully mapping my controller in a way that it worked as expected as well as effects not being as good and overall functionality and work flow not being as smooth as polished as I've been used to using serato and then traktor.
It has been a while since I tried it though so maybe I should give it another bash and see how it has improved over the years.
How is the library management? That is one thing traitor fucking sucks at!
There's a long list of supported controllers. The process for making your own mappings can indeed be a bit cumbersome, but it also seems to be quite powerful in the kind of features it can support, thanks to javascript integration.
Not sure about the library management, seems to work well enough for me.
