If you want the capabilities of a controller with the option to use CDs/MP3s, then I would check out something like the Numark Mixdeck.
It's similar to the mixtrack but with bigger jog wheels, CD players, USB capabilities, and iPod capabilities.

Look i now that is really really good (Numark Mixdeck) but costs 850e on ebay...
So if i spend more that 700e i can buy a pair of an american audio radious 3000 that is very good cd players.
I want such a good cotroller with price below than 250euros.

Keep in mind that with the Mixtrack you'll also need a soundcard. As a producer I find it interesting to get a good portable interface like the MOTU Ultralite or the Focusrite Saffire Pro 24 that you'll use for both purposes.
Regarding the mixer that's the other way around imo, I'd rather have a controller and a software mixer that can be updated.

There's always the Mixtrack Pro that has a built in soundcard! :W:

I got a Hercules RMX, it cost around $300 a few years back. Has an internal soundcard and works with Traktor, although you need to download a MIDI map for it. I've had no problems with it.

Yeah that's an option if you're on a budget but if you're a producer and have the extra $$$ go for the external audio interface imo.

You can get a midi mixer that doesn't have a sound card and just by a REALLY cheap external USB one for about $10 if all you would be using it for is cueing tracks. I started out with the Hercules DJ Control Steel and just upgraded to the TKS4. Seriously, those $200-$300 models are really shistey, but they will get the job done and you can map them however you want. That's how I got around the limited functionality of them. Buttons are usually retardedly unresponsive but Traktor's snap/quantize settings help cope.

Behringer has a few decent products but yeah, I'd stay away from the BCD3000. I looked into it before going for the RMX.
