Nice! I don’t how well it works to listen to the top posts as a playlist. The top 4 has Luke’s textbook list, and Eliezer’s preface to R:AZ. The first isn’t even an essay, and the second is very good as a preface to the book, but doesn’t have much value if listened to as standalone essay. I think sequences to audio and playlists would be the best route.
I said on the previous post that it would be nice if this was integrated into LessWrong, but until that happens, it would be nice if you had a bot that posts a comment on each post when it gets an audio version, so it would be easy to discover and find (and I would also make it post that comment retroactively on every post already converted). Just need to make sure this doesn’t spam the site, so I would consult the admins to see if that’s fine and if maybe they can have that bot’s comments not show up on the frontpage.

Thanks for the feedback! We think a bot could make sense as well—we’re exploring this internally.
