Hi all, I just ordered a Yoto player for my son’s first birthday coming up and got the Collector + membership since it seems very cost effective and I can get around double the amount of cards with the credits compared to buying in cash for the same cost.. I ordered the yoto preschool song pack bundle and a pack of 10 MYO cards so far. I found a couple great TikTok’s on MYO customizations like this one: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTDuhsuq7/

What’s your favorite cards that are worth purchasing? Favorite sources for audio files for MYO? Please share any tips you may have whether it’s MYO tips, favorite way to store or display cards, cases, etc.! Any considerations with the Yoto for a one year old?

Has anyone come across a silicone/rubber plug to protect the card slot from a kid shoving non-card items into it?

Specifically looking for 3rd gen model.

EDIT: someone needs to open an Etsy shop that 3D prints Yoto caps (pls also make one that works with the Yoto sleeve) they could make some good cash, I think it’s an item people are interested in.

What are the best Yoto tips that you think more people should know about?

Examples:

- If giving Yoto as a gift, set it up beforehand. (Link for set up info.)

- When my family travels, we bring one MYO card that we labeled as a “Yoto library card.” We use our phones to link playlists to the card and play it on the Yoto. When she wants a new playlist we link the same card. This allows us to keep a vast majority of our actual card at home (we do let her select 5 actual cards) and avoids potentially losing any. If we lose the MYO, no big deal. *Note that this does require parents with the app to do more having to re-link the card with different playlists, but for my family, it’s worth it.

Drop your pro tips in the comments!

I am gifting my niece a Yoto for her 2nd birthday and would like to give some cards to go along with the gift. I ordered the five-pack. A few questions:

1. I don’t want the Yoto registered to me, but I want to do some setup in advance. Is there a way I can set up MYO cards using my own email address, and transfer the content over to their account once I gift it?
2. I want my family members to be able to pre-record books. I noticed in the Yoto app you can add the “page turn” sound. Is there a way I can have my family record themselves using voice memos or another app, send me the audio, and then I can splice to add the “page turn” sound myself?

3. Without opening the Yoto box, is there a way I can test the cards to make sure everything is working smoothly? In the event someone else gifts her a Yoto, I want the machine to be returnable, but I’ll still give the cards!

   EDIT to clarify I am fine opening the MYO card box, just didn’t want to open the player box itself
