How to export your Version 2 library into Version 1

Delicious Library 1 doesn’t support the new collections (toys, tools, gadgets, etc.), but you can still export your Version 2 library into Version 1 — in case you ever want your library on a computer that isn’t running Leopard.

To export your Version 2 library to Version 1:

Select the items or shelves you want to export (remember Version 1 only supports books, movies, music, and videogames).

From the File menu, select Export > Export to Delicious Library 1.5. This will create a text file called “Library Media Data.xml”.

Drag this file into your Delicious Library 1 folder found in application support (make sure Delicious Library is closed at the time).

Launch Delicious Library 1, and your items should appear — give it a minute, it may take some time to load all the data.
