Media Versions of Diogenes Laertius Life of Epicurus

I'll add other links as I find them but we need a media (audio) version of the Life of Epicurus, so this will start that process.

I will be working to improve the text of the text-to-speech version of Bailey being used to generate the one based on Joshua's voice.

If you know GIT feel free to suggest updates. If you don't know git, you can (1) click the "view source" button " < >" and it will show you the line numbers that need editing and then (2) submit changes either here in this thread or to me by private conversation.
