These are the Skins available to be applied to the EZ Play DJ. Skins can be copied or moved into or out of this Skin Set. They can be renamed or deleted. The one restriction is that the Skin that is actually applied to the EZ Play DJ cannot be moved from or deleted from the Skin Set. If there is just one Skin in the Skin Set it is applied to the EZ Play DJ, so it cannot be deleted or moved out.

Export

This is the only Skin Set from which Skins can be exported to a file on your PC. They can then be imported into the Final or Draft Skin Set on another computer with the EZ Play DJ. Its purpose is to be a location into which you gather Skins to be exported. You can Rename or Delete skins in this Skin Set. Skins can be copied from any other Skin Set. They can be moved into this Skin Set only from the Deleted Skin Set.
