Free Music and Audio Stories for Children – Entertainment and Education with hörbert

Music and audio stories are an integral part of everyday life for many children – whether whilst playing, falling asleep or travelling. But good entertainment doesn’t always have to be expensive. There are numerous ways that parents and carers can find free music and audio stories or podcasts for children – completely legally and child-friendly. Particularly hörbert, the sustainable MP3 player for children, makes listening a safe and advert-free experience.

Option 2:

Use hörbert’s function as a Bluetooth speaker and simultaneously record the Bluetooth content transmitted to hörbert via mobile phone, tablet or computer whilst streaming! This way you can quickly record your youtube music, audible, spotify or deezer playlist with hörbert and then play it back later offline – without Bluetooth – with hörbert.

How you make Bluetooth recordings with hörbert, you can find out in our FAQ about Bluetooth recordings with hörbert from hörbert.

Option 3:

Use hörbert’s built-in voice microphone to read your child their latest favourite story and record it at the same time. Voice messages or poems can also be collected wonderfully this way. Sing a song to your child with hörbert and record it simultaneously. Or play music on an instrument and immortalise the family sound concert on hörbert’s memory card.

How you make recordings with the voice microphone, you can find out here in our post about voice recordings.

Option 4:

Use hörbert’s function as a playback device for internet radio stations to store web radio URLs and play web radio stations. hörbert can also record these streams simultaneously!

Our free and advert-free internet radio station “Wolkenradio” offers you free audio content for children and their adults. Good entertainment, educational songs, peace and relaxation and simply just fun and joy in experiencing music!
You can reach Wolkenradio via the following website:
Wolkenradio.net
The streaming link for saving into all devices that can receive and play web streams via WLAN: http://de.wolkenradio.net/stream128

How you can record internet radio stations simultaneously whilst listening, you can find out in our article about hörbert’s recording functions.

Option 5:

Import your home CD collection or CDs from the library onto your computer. For this you’ll naturally need a computer with a CD drive or an externally connectable CD drive.

Then you can read in the CDs. With Windows Media Player as MP3 files or with iTunes as M4A. Or you can copy the audio tracks directly as CDA files from the CD onto a computer.

Afterwards, with a hörbert that already has the Firmware Butterfly, you can copy these audio files with drag&drop into folders 0 to 8 on hörbert’s memory card.

You can sort the playback order by renaming the filename accordingly, e.g. like this:
1_Trackname
2_Trackname
3_Trackname
etc.

If your hörbert doesn’t yet have the Firmware Butterfly or if you still have an older hörbert model with toggle switches, you must transfer the new audio files to hörbert’s memory card using the free hörbert software for Windows, macOS, or Linux.
