Install
Install the extension from the Chrome Web Store: Yoto MYO Magic
Log in to Yoto's Make Your Own website
The buttons automagically appear on Yoto's MYO playlists site!
⚡ Features
• 'Import Playlist' uploads your entire folder or ZIP at once — audio files, icons, and cover art are automatically applied together (no tedious one-by-one uploading!)
• 'Update Playlist' and 'Add Content' lets you add new tracks and/or icons to an existing playlist (use this to apply icons to existing playlists!)
• 'Bulk Import' brings in multiple playlists at once — you can choose whether they stay separate or merge into one big playlist
• 'Import Podcast' lets you browse and instantly add podcast episodes to your playlist
• No icons? Click 'Icon Match' and MYO Magic fetches track icons from Yoto's public library and Yoto Icons based on track title or category
• 'Create Icon' gives you a mini-studio right inside Yoto — customize icons from an image or start fresh with a blank canvas
• 'Add GIF' lets you add animated GIF icons to your playlists — bring your cards to life!
• 'Visual Timer' creates a customizable timer card — choose different times, icon styles and sounds to give kids a playful way to see and hear when time's up

🔋 Check the battery levels for all your Yoto devices at a glance.
💡 Tips for the best experience
Organize your audio and icons into one folder before importing.
Track titles that are clear (like “Bedtime Story” or “Dinosaur Song”) give you better Icon Match results.
Start with shorter playlists to get a feel for the flow, then scale up.
The experience is designed to feel like “magic” — just a few clicks and your MYO card is ready for listening!
