So you are having trouble with opening midi files with your finale notepad? If that's the problem then try and right click on the midi your trying to open and click on "open with.." and select finale notepad. It usually works for me.

Didn't they add midi support in like...2008?

Maybe yours is older?

Hm.. try saving an Midi from this site and then opening it with Finale and see if that works (if you haven't already). If it works then there's something from with the Midi your working with. If it doesn't work then there's probaly something wrong with your finale (wether it's finale's settings or the version you have).
