TipToi-dl

A linux CLI TipToi audiofile downloader.

Motivation

Ravensburger, the manufacturer of the famous TipToi offers a Windows and a Mac Program for downloading new audiofiles. As a Linux user you have to do that manually via their website which is not the best experience.

So I decided to build this little CLI that allows me to download and copy the audiofile for a new book onto my kids TipToi within seconds.

Setup

1. Install uv if you have not already (see https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/)
2. Run uv tool install tiptoi-dl (or uv tool install git+https://github.com/Bouni/tiptoi-dl.git for the main branch)
3. Run the script: tiptoi-dl

Note

If the command is not found, the path is most likely not in your PATH. run uv tool update-shell to fix that

Usage

You can enter any word thats in the title of a book, afterwards you get a list of possible matches. The script guides you through the rest of the steps and will download the .gme file automatically if the TipToi pen is connected via USB and mounted. Otherwise the .gme file is downloaded into your Downloads folder.
