Your process is good but its incomplete.
Youre going to want to add in a couple steps to make things easier for Traktor as well as for yourself when loading tracks while playing.
1) Setup playlist in iTunes
2) HIGHLIGHT all the songs in that playlist
3) Convert them all to MP3 files. (This makes sure Traktor wont have to deal with any AAC, m4a, or other files)
4) Start a NEW playlist (same name with NEW on it)
5) Goto the folder where you exported your new MP3 files and drag them into the NEW playlist
6) Delete your old playlist
7) Close iTunes
-----ok now time for Traktor---
1) Open Traktor
2) Goto your iTunes Tab and find that NEW playlist
3) Rightclick it and select IMPORT TO PLAYLISTS
***now scroll up in that tree til you see a listing of that itunes playlist name***
4) Highlight ALL the songs in the now TRAKTOR playlist
5) Click ANALYZE
***This step yuo just did for #5 will help traktor alot. Its analyzing all the songs in that list NOW so it wont have to do it while you are playing and loading tracks. Also, it will automatically at this point, find any beat markers, so your song will cue up correctly (its like beat gridding ahead of time)**** Trust me.... this is pretty important when playing live or recording so do it.
Ok man.... thats it. You had the first couple steps but that was bascially how to setup and find them. You just needed to know how to prep them too.
