I can confirm this bug, and reproduce the wrong behavior with the precompiled
packages distributed by kde-windows. Unfortunately, the 'emerge' build system
offered by kde-windows is too buggy and the people involved is so unfriendly
that I don't have the means or the motivation to debug and fix it by myself. As
a consequence, I'm resigning as kmid maintainer. 

If you have installed kmid compiling the kde-windows sources by yourself, good
for you!. Maybe you can try and fix the bug yourself, and even become the new
kmid maintainer.

As a final clue, my suspicions are that the problem comes from a workaround
made to circunvent an old problem in kde-windows. Look at
"win/winmidiobject.cpp", see line 614 and following (method void
WinMIDIObject::openFile).

        //TODO: looks like KIO::NetAccess::download() is broken in Windows/KDE
4.4.0
        KUrl url(fileName);
        kDebug() << fileName;
        if (fileName.startsWith(QLatin1String("file://"), Qt::CaseInsensitive))
{
            kDebug() << "KUrl::localFile:" << url.toLocalFile();
            tmpFile = fileName.mid(7);
            kDebug() << "workaround, loading" << tmpFile;
        } else {
            kDebug() << "download:" << url;
            KIO::NetAccess::download(url, tmpFile, 0);
        }

My guess is that maybe KIO has been fixed lately. In this case, all the above
code can be replaced by this line:

    KIO::NetAccess::download(fileName, tmpFile, 0)

Good luck.
