Hm, is Clemens getting a bit ahead of himself here.

Maybe just stating the obvious, but the file is NOT a midi file, but seems to be a .ZIP archive file, and the archive does not contain any midi files, merely .mp3 audio files and .pdf files (which might be scores ?)

If you were looking for a midi file, then this is not the right file.
