How fun. I went ahead and automated this by recording numbers 0-9 into mp3 files and then reading each prime number individually to play the mp3 of the corresponding number. Feel free to reuse if you want to participate.

I understand the nerdy need to automate this, but I feel like this defeats the purpose of the while experiment.

I don't know, it seems like a nice creative take, and it is their voice (as opposed to text-to-speech) so it does fit the requirements

And that’s fair, it’s certainly more monotone and less human but knowing me, I would make ten mistakes before I finally got to a good cut.
