Get 24 audio tracks, e.g. there are great free kids podcasts out there or create your own, and place them in a folder. Configure your config.yaml and afterwards run ./bin/audiobox-advent-calendar sync config.yaml and all audio files for today will be synced to your tonie. Make sure to run the sync every day and have a Happy Christmas Time! 🎄
