Step 2

 
Step 2: Create Necessary Folders. 
 
 
 
Create a folder called whatever you want. 
Create a folder inside that folder called data. 
Create a folder inside data called sounds. 
 
sounds folder is where you will copy and paste the music.idx.feral and music.dat.feral files. 
 
 

Step 3

Navigate to Total War ROME REMASTERED\Contents\Resources\Data\data\sounds you are looking for 2 files: music.idx.feral and music.dat.feral. 
 
 

Step 4

 
Step 4: Copy Music Files to Your Folder and Rename

Step 5

 
Step 5: Rename the Music Files 
 
 
 
Rename music.idx.feral and music.dat.feral music files so the .feral extension is removed. The names should be music.idx and music.dat 
 
 

Step 6

Paste the SoundExtractor folder you downloaded into the folder you created that contains the “data” folder.

Execute unpack_all_sounds.bat. 
 
A black window will open up prompting you to extract the music. The music will begin the extracting process. 
 
 

Final Remarks

 
If you did everything correctly, the music files should be extracted. It will have also created a backup folder of the original .idx and .dat files. All the files are .opus, I recommend using foobar2000 to play/convert them. 
 
This is only a very basic guide using an old extractor used for the older games. If anyone has a better way or if there’s something I missed let me know n the comments
