audiocube
Software toolbox for a few similar devices I call "audio cubes": More or less cube-shaped audio players with an integrated speaker, that will automatically start playing fairytales from their internal memory when one of the affiliated figures (containing a hidden NFC tag) is placed on top of the device. All devices seen so for use audio files with a .smp extension.
