Live become more dj user friendly
I would like to see Live design a feature that would allow MIDI mapping for pitch control so dj's have more control over a songs tempo without having to do extensive warping because this would not be very user friendly during a live dj gig. Live is the best when it comes to production and performance, but I feel it's lacking in areas for dj's as opposed to Traktor or CDJ's. Anyone else have opinions or ideas about this?

For djing the most annoyinh thing is browsing tracks, we need a dedicated browser able to show mp3 tags.

I've said it before and I'll say it again:
If Ableton released a "DJ Version" with a more standard DJ s/w layout - decks with individual time displays, pitch controls, play/pause & waveform displays, a proper DJ friendly browser (showing ID3 tags a must) - but which retained the ability to warp tracks (which to the best of my knowledge is still not possible in any DJ software) then they'd have a winner on their hands.
Sell it for a reasonable price (less than the full Live or Suite) and I think it'd fly.
I also think that if ever another DJ s/w company adds Ableton standard warping to their product, many DJs who currently use Live (for the warping) would gladly jump ship.
