Yoto

Music Assistant has support for streaming from Yoto. Contributed and maintained by Pantsman0

Yoto is a smart audio player for kids. It uses physical cards that slot into the player to play audiobooks, music, podcasts, radio, and more! These cards can be downloaded or streamed to the player from the Yoto cloud service, and now to Music Assistant too.

Connecting your Yoto account puts that library inside Music Assistant, where you can play them on any compatible device. Currently only standard cards are supported; cards using dynamic features have not been tested.

This is an unofficial implementation and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Yoto.
