How to get access to "server files" or filedir in moodledata

Hi,

I am running a site 2.9 with many courses in it.... Each course has 16-20 topics in it with audio files embedded.

There is a business need to extract all the audio files...

When I go to the File Picker... I am able to see the directory structure and all the audio files in it correctly... Please see screenshot.

However, I see that in the moodledata directory, there is a different file structure under filedir directory. 

What is the best way to get the files ?

Appreciate any help

This is a result of the encrypted file system in Moodle 2. There are all sorts of solutions, e.g.
- https://moodle.org/plugins/view/repository_mycoursesfiles
- https://moodle.org/plugins/view/block_repo_filemanager
- https://moodle.org/plugins/view/block_coursefiles
- https://moodle.org/plugins/view/block_my_external_privatefiles
- recently seen https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=323727&parent=1299968

I haven't used any of them!
