Can anyone please help me access the contents of the .dat file for House of the Dead EX(specifically, the music)?

All of the game data is in these archives:

Part 1: https://mega.co.nz/#!K4JmQKbR!aWw_OOkP5 ... 2l4y1XPlNs
Part 2: https://mega.co.nz/#!KlIwUaYI!-8AC4jBr9 ... kcgXsXBALY
Part 3: https://mega.co.nz/#!a5RjkAQZ!TF8mRLd1c ... zuyxxafiOw
Part 4: https://mega.co.nz/#!ztoU0KDD!i6VoKXHkt ... 8x2wrEBMc0
Part 5: https://mega.co.nz/#!m1hkHKLQ!4GWDaFluM ... ZOdcP-mEzg


I used WinRAR to split the .dat file into 5 parts.

EDIT: I just now noticed that the links for parts 2 and 3 were the same. This is now fixed.

It seems all obfuscated.
With big files the best solution is to use the filecutter script to avoid to upload/download tons of stuff for nothing:

Thank you for responding, aluigi. I noticed just before writing this that the links for parts 2 and 3 were the same. This has been fixed.

Okay, I used the filecutter BMS script on the .dat file, and it gave me 2 files named: hotdex.dat_0_-520093696, and hotdex.dat_-522190848_-520093696, which I have put in a .zip file which I've attached to this post.

Is there anything else I need to do?

Currently no, the whole archive is encrypted.
