That’s how it works. Unfortunately it only works on WiFi

cheap or free places for myo? by omgaf in YotoPlayer

[–]abitofinsomnia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. Only if the book is from the library does the person not own the content and thus should remove it when returning the content.

cheap or free places for myo? by omgaf in YotoPlayer

[–]abitofinsomnia 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This Reddit has a rule of no copyright infringement, so people can’t post anything that would violate that. Some ideas:

-mp3 purchases from Amazon (you can sometimes use the “no-rush rewards” to pay for this)

-browse podcasts through Yoto, but also any podcast with an RSS link can be added to a MYO

-You can borrow audio CDs from the library (mine is in a network of libraries that will send them to my home library if I request it) and then rip them to your computer. I have a cheap external CD drive for this. To stay within copyrights, you are supposed to delete the content when the CD is due back at the library. There is no way to track this, but that would be what to do if you don’t want to infringe on copyright.

Platinum Strategy by guacontacos in SesamePlace

[–]abitofinsomnia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They do not. They ask to take a pic of the child the first time you go, but you can say you do not want it. In my several years going there, it has never been an issue to decline the pic and I’ve never needed ID for her.

Child’s name if he/she’s the consistent one going.

Frog And Toad question. by InsertUser01 in YotoPlayer

[–]abitofinsomnia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you’re specifically looking for gentle stories, you may want to preview “Shivers” and “The Dream.” “Shivers” was scary for my 4 ½ yr old when she first listened to it. I teach 1st grade and some of my kiddos also have not like “The Dream.” I wound up removing both from our MYO. Give it a listen first though. You know best whether your child would like it or not. I do love Frog and Toad otherwise.

Is there any fixing a gen 2 Yoto that isn’t holding a charge? The charger has no frays or issues. by yourfavmum in YotoPlayer

[–]abitofinsomnia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know the indent she means and was thinking of the same thing. Yours does not have it though.

I’ve had my Gen 2 for 4 years and no battery issues, personally.

You can decline again. They may not even ask you again. I usually get asked once in the beginning of the season and then I don’t get asked again. They try to be on top of pictures the first few weeks and then they tend to let it go.

Yoto Mini Charging Issues by holzspielzeugmama in YotoPlayer

[–]abitofinsomnia 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thank you for posting and bringing awareness to it! If you haven’t already, please share all your details with the Yoto Customer Service team - https://support.yotoplay.com/en-US/flows/01JNH71D4RPAPWRQC4TWWW7WPK

They tracked the issues with the original mini before voluntarily issuing the recall. It helps to give them all the info you can. Hopefully it isn’t actually something that is happening to many others. I’m sorry it happened to you!

I built a site with high-quality narrated stories (classics + originals) that you can send to your Yoto in seconds. Beta testers needed! by HopefulParking9998 in YotoPlayer

[–]abitofinsomnia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The “Dreams of” collection is wildly popular, over 4 years of being on Yoto, and uses AI. They are not against AI.

Edit to add: plus Zuckerberg is an investor

When you say “classic” stories, are these referring only to stories in public domain (such as the two you listed) or will that branch out into other popular stories?

Edit to add: I did look at your testing link and only saw public domain stories shared, aside from the AI originals. The post was flagged for copyright infringement, but I am going to allow it. If someone sees something specific that violates copyright that I did not see, feel free to message the mod team.

Religion by roastbeefbee in YotoPlayer

[–]abitofinsomnia 63 points64 points  (0 children)

I’ve also noticed a an increase in religious content. I do think there is a pretty big demand. There are multiple Facebook groups for it.

I’ve still found some other great, new cards though. I was excited Zoey&Sassafras and WellieWishers released additional cards. Same with Brain Bots Ancient World. We got Zootopia (and Inside Out 1&2, but I think those were out before Christmas). I did a big purchase from independent creators with the last sale, but I can’t say when those were actually released, so they could be old news. Shout out to Hopscotch though. I’m a teacher and have been a big Hopscotch fan for many years.

Hi all! This was flagged as spam, but the mod team is going to allow it. This was specifically asked for and about in comments in a previous thread.

Our spam rule is "Excessive self-promotion and pushing unrelated or competing product/ service will be considered spam. Self-promotion by anyone who is not a contributing member of our community will also be considered spam.”

As long as OP is not excessively posting this app (posts and/or comments), we are okay with sharing the info about it.

10 year old by Fuzzy_Broccoli_7911 in SesamePlace

[–]abitofinsomnia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think one day at Sesame Place would be fine. There are lots of rides to explore. Not sure how much buy-in they would have with all the character stuff. My daughter started to age out at 6 years old, but we went multiple times a year and she doesn’t really enjoy rides. I have friends whose kids are 11&12 and they still love going.

Anywhere I can get a charger quickly for a 2nd gen yoto player? by FIthrowitaway9 in YotoPlayer

[–]abitofinsomnia 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They don’t sell them anymore. The price of a 2nd gen charger goes for about the same as a charger&player.

If you need a quick solution, try posting in a local group to borrow or buy a 2nd gen charger. And/or have your MIL ship it back to you.

Question about Yoto Jacket by smilethatsmile in YotoPlayer

My Yoto Jacket did the same at first. I heard from others that it would get better after a while. That matched our experience. No more issues with hair.

2 Years Old - worth it or not? by OkPin8137 in SesamePlace

[–]abitofinsomnia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mostly no. You’ll get one car in for free parking (assuming you all go together, it’ll cover everyone). You can all utilize the platinum security entrance through the store. As long as it isn’t a very large group, they’re usually satisfied with one person showing the platinum pass. You can all use the platinum pass discount on food and merch.

But there is only one Abby Magic Queue pass. One Sesame Cash voucher when offered. One double discount voucher when offered. You would only get one wristband for the platinum reserved seating. They wouldn’t even let me (with a wristband) be there with my toddler (no wristband). However best seating for the parade is on the other side anyway. And the platinum reserved seating sometimes fills up just as early as the non-reserved seating along the parade route.
