For those that love the idea of this kind of child-friendly media consumption but maybe don’t have the time, consider Yoto. You can make your own cards that can contain one track or playlists of mp3s that you drag and drop onto a web interface. The yoto then downloads and stores those files, playing them whenever that card is inserted. You can also use the ipad app to browse and play the same content.
Yeah Yoto is our family’s iPad alternative to avoid exposing the kids to too much screen time. On car trips or when they’re just being wild we break them out and the kids love trading story cards and then zoning out and listening. Highly recommended.
I just built one (nfc music player) with an old rpi, rc522 nfc reader and a cheap usb speaker)
Mighty players work great for on the go consumption as well.
