This is so not worthy of my time.

1. Build a website that actually works. With enough screenshots.

2. Make a trial version that doesn't make me want to kill the author. Seriously? Email 4 lines of number-garbage just to test it for few minutes? Look down from your tower of babel, there are people with lives down here.

3. The moment your database configuration tool (good luck explaining that to a average user) requested for moving and rebuilding my storage card, i just cancelled everything. You might want to make it more understandable. I guess it's for telling the software where the music is.

Edit: Here, i shot a quick video of the parts that i did manage to test http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZJa87Gsl1Y
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] apirec:
Thanks for the video (I like the soundtrack! :p ), so I don't have to waste my... er... test the progam myself. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] haiopei:
I love this video :D :D :D

Your hands speaks a lot of words in this video :D

*rotfl*

btw:the sound is lovely too

LOL

YOUR VIDEO IS COOL mdr
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Menneisyys:
It won't work - the vast majority of the world is banned from there. According to the developer, most people are plain criminals; this is why they're banned from his site.

I really recommend the following links for more info: http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showthread.php?t=147371 , http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showthread.php?t=148599 , http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showthread.php?t=119752 and http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showthread.php?t=140481

Man... This guy is paranoid. Everybody is speaking great of his app but it seems nobody can download it (and pay for it...).

Here is the Demo version of this
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] benjammin:
It sucks that people come out with great products like this, but then get discouraged b/c people like you post crap like this. Did you really have a hard time figuring this out? Maybe get an iPhone instead of windows mobile. It took me all of 2 minutes to figure it out and catalog all of the music on my 8525. You ask this person to look down from their tower 'cuz people have a real life and cant copy and paste 4 lines into an email (5 seconds at most...learn how to use your device), yet you have time to post a video on YouTube and even add a musical background.

Get real. Ive never ever posted something bad in any forum, but after reading your reply, seeing your video, and then testing the thing out myself, i just couldnt keep my mouth shut cuz you're completely ridiculous and apparently dont know how to...hell i dont even know. Think? Problem solve? Read? All of the above i guess.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] benjammin:
Oh, by the way, he actually posted a VIDEO, not just screenshots...if you can figure out how to download it and know how to use Windows Media Player on your desktop PC (you have used a PC before right?)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DaVince:
Thanks. Saved me lots of time on trying that piece of crap.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
please, DO NOT say anything bad about that man.

like i said - he made BEST music player for ppc's, i am amazed by his 40tiplay.

i think its very original person, but geez, do you always need beverly hills 90210 fockin sweetness?

respect, 40th Floor, trust me, you are able to make amazing things.

just stop looking for Touch era users... i think you are just not known here(its second or even third, sad era of ppc's now..;/).

btw, contact me, i want to buy 40tiplay..need info how to do that.

regardless of above: uh, is that presented program(phantasm) yours or someones else , i am confused a bit.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Menneisyys:
Actually, we're in the same boat. If you read my past generic multimedia-related articles, I've recommended iPlay the most because of its 1, excellent CPU usage 2, groundbreaking reverb effect, which really enhances ALL kinds of content.

However, the developer, it seems, considers everyone outside the U.S. criminal... he hasn't even answered my mails where I've told him I'd pay for his stuff to be reviewed and I'm not asking for a freebie (I've purchased the full Pocket Music, both the PPC and the Symbian versions of CorePlayer and Nero Mobile Digital so that I can review them without always asking for review copies. (Yeah, it was too late when I noticed Pocket Music actually had a full-working trial version. No problem, at least I contributed to the player's future development.)) ...

All in all, I'm absolutely sure you won't be able to actually buy a copy of his stuff either - if you can't access his homepage (because, in most cases, you're outside the U.S.), then, you're a criminal. Just like me and a lot of AximSite folks. According to him, of course.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Menneisyys:
Tested the demo - indeed it's even more crippled than past iPlay 5 demos. You MUST request a trial code from their homepage in order to even make it run (to pass the initial screen - if you just close it, then, any menu operation will result in an immediate exit). This completely sucks.

All in all, it's a no-go for the Multimedia Bible either.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Blowfish64:
So I'm thinking you're either a mindless fanboy or probably the author himself using a fake username. It doesn't matter how good your software is, dude. You're never going to make any money off it because the simple fact of the matter is that you're a douche.

By the way:

PHANTSM - n. - Something apparently seen but having no physical reality

What an appropriate name for your product.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] KukurikU:
hey, you 40th floor! want a cracked ver of yr player?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] KukurikU:
lol! really, why did you bother to write something in yr post?

the movie was enough!

this guy is not paranoid! he is nuts! "warez jockeys" in "dark alleys" kind of nuts (see his posts http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showthread.php?t=147371 , http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showthread.php?t=148599 , http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showthread.php?t=119752 and http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showthread.php?t=140481).

he suffered a childhood trauma (maybe he was kidnapped by a "warez jockey"). he and his wonderful player against the world, at least over 90% of it.

all i can say is
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Menneisyys:
Please note that some stuff is offered for Americans, which we Europeans are NOT allowed to do. One of them is the ability to ask for at least a f*cking trial regcode, let alone buying the app. (I'd happily purhase it, even if, currently, my main multimedia source is the Nokia N95 because of the vastly better A2DP quality, the built-in speakers and the weight of the thing. After all, I've purchased several other apps I've, then, reviewed: Nero Mobile Pro, Pocket Music etc.)

I've sent the dev SEVERAL mails asking him about purchasing his app. I haven't ever received any answer. For him, I'm just a ****ing criminal because I happen to live in Europe and he seems to hate Europeans because a Dutch guy cracked his 4.x series of iPlay . ONE inhabitant of Europe... yes, he's putting blame on each and every European because of this... ridiculous!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] 40th Floor:
There you go again, Menn., off with the BS. Now you see why I ignore you. Second, it's easy to ignore you because, like I've said a few times over the years, I've never gotten any mail from you (and have recently added to that, am glad). Third, you are way too buddy-buddy with warez-holes. Fourth, he was not Dutch, but a Russian (matter of fact, he's even mentioned by name in the Warez "news" thread here at xda, so much for his "honor roll" status, but then this was way back in Sept 2005, using an already outdated build from 2004). Oh, right -- well, you're just so full of it I don't really care to itemize and correct all your (typical internet) nonsense. Haha. It's funny, though, you are going off your rocker more and more, lately, at least when I have the misfortune of having to read your BS ("I Am Menn. Read what I wrote!"). And, just to make sure you understand, pfffft! haha

P.S. I spent 10 years over there, not to mention the Far East (where the heck is that?). Let's see. English was not my first language. Uh-huh. What else..., well, haha, you are such a butt! but that's hardly news. Now, I do have a life so I have to get back to it. Try to get one, you may find you don't have to BS so much to get attention.

Hope the excess quote is not too bad. No telling what all you wrote so I just left the pile as you dumped it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] KukurikU:
i begin to like this guy. i think he's funny! his "haha" make me always smile.

he is so pleased with himself....his warezomania is hilarious!

pity he is so stupid not to realize that there are tens (maybe hundreds) of apps like his player to choose from. we don't need him, he does need us to sell his product. he is so scared of what is in the bottle that he prefer to die from thirst than open it. interesting case......in the end, somebody is going to crack his app and he is going to commit suicide.....his last words are going to be:

"haha" !
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Menneisyys:
Should I do the same when writing a Multimedia Bible? After all, your choice - it's OK with me if you kindly let me reduce the work I need to do by not even letting me purchase your stuff. After all, an app to review less - some hours of work less for me, reviewing- and testing-wise.

That's a blatant lie. I've sent you a PM at Brighthand almost two years ago - and it was just one occasion of the several (I've also sent you several over your homepage - when it still had the "mail me" link.) I've sent you two mails at mai********@40th.com on 10/31/2007 and jae*******@40th.com from my Pocket PC Mag.com address on 11/20/2007, asking you how I can purchase your stuff (via either VISA or PayPal) so that I can review it in the MM Bible.

You surely can prove your point. Let me see. If you are unable to do so: well, then, I uderstand why you got banned from AximSite when you accused some community leaders there with pretty much the same.

Then it was Russian. Doesn't matter, as I aren't Russian either. "Just" a European that also suffers from your idiotic "let's ban the world, but, at least Europe!" approach.

What has to do with the subject? You sound like some racist like "Well, I, in general, have no problems with race X and have a lot of friends from there BUT...". A flawed argument, don't you think? You're banning most of Europe - not only Russia, but a ****load of other, even West-European countries. That's a fact. You don't need to tell me you've been living here for 10 years because it simply doesn't change the fact you're banning billions of people just because they don't happen to live in the U.S.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] GermanGuy:
Just to get back to the subject. I bought phantasm and it is an awesome program. Love it. His support is outstanding as well. His response is quick and detailed.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] KukurikU:
you must be "the chosen one". this should be considered as a non warez certificate.

i really don't understand what's all the fuss about! i've seen testimonials that the player is hifi but only if you can afford an expensive set of headphones with it.

who needs hifi in his ppc? you don't need hifi in the bus, gym or in the street, the usual places where we usually listen to music from our ppc. if i want hifi i'll listen to my hifi set at home.

it seems that the harder this paranoid guy try not to sell, the harder everybody wants to buy. a genial salesman? i bet he's drolling over the perspective to have for clients all of us but he don't dare.....warezomania is a very serious, chronically disease!

let him be, close this topic!

i am taking it very personal that he is comming here, where there are so many creators that share for free, where warez is banned and keep poisoning us with his paranoia.

in every forum he appears (to promote!!! his product) he very soon become the laughing stock of everybody. let him go and "sell" somewhere else!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] KukurikU:
i hope this will stop all the speculations and the exaggerated attention paid to this guy! you have the possibility to see it and test it. if you like it try and buy it (good luck!)

anybody that want the link to dl the 40iplayer 4.8... **** Edited out by Menneisyys **** .

my personal believe: don't use warez buy the product! of course if somebody is selling it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Menneisyys:
sorry, I took out the explanation of getting his warezed stuff - however much I disagree with the 40th Floor folks, even indirect warez links / explanations of getting them are forbidden. Let's keep it legal guys :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Menneisyys:
Yup, he's in America - this is why the page works for him. The 40th Floor folks seem to be heavily racist against everyone non-American...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] colonel00:
For the record, I am in the heart of America and I cannot get his page to work. I have tried from work and home.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tomazez:
Let me say something about this,

i think this guy(40th...) is just too funny, with his ridiculous statements about warez and living ten years in the far east. Com on!

I have a few questions though for yall(anybody may answer just for fun:P):

1. Do you want to make much money out of this 'player'?

2. Do you know what marketing is?

3. Why is your name 40th floor?

4. Are you desperate for attention?

5. Are you that kind of person that hates all the foreigners, the rednack type(or something like that)?

6. Are you proud of your player?

7. Are you proud of your website?

Well, i think thats it, haha.

Good luck guys!

Cheers,

TOMAZEZ OOOOOOUT!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] KukurikU:
no problem. sorry for (indirectly) breaking the rules.

after seeing it i have one more observation. the player can be used only with the stick, and you have to sharpen it "haha" !
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Menneisyys:
Yeah, the interface should be reworked / made D-pad / Smartphone-friendly.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] KukurikU:
oh my god! you download it? busted!:p LOL!

now you can write yr review! waiting........
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Menneisyys:
Nope, I've referred to the 4.x and early 5.x series iPlay demos I had the chance to test back in january (thanks to some community members mailing them >:) ).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] GermanGuy:
Wait a minute. I am German!!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Menneisyys:
"Location: Minneapolis MN"

:)

(From Germany, you'll hardly be able to even see his homepage.)

EDIT: I've been told in the meantime that SOME German ISP's are allowed and some aren't.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Mort:
You don't need to be American to live in the USA. ;)

With any re-router like a proxy server or anonymizer tools, that shouldn't be so hard.

Didn't try it. I think someone who tries to sell software only to "chosen ones" shouldn't wonder if almost nobody buys it, even if it was the best player out there...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Menneisyys:
Yeah, I've tried a lot of anonymizer proxies - none of them worked.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hrb:
No Problem

I don't understand what problems you guys have.

I have installed the demo version of phantasm, mailed the 4 keys and got an answer within 1 day from 40th.

....and I am a European living in Europe....

Maybe you should consider an old french saying: c'est le ton qui fait la musique

Cheers

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] whysolate:
40th Floor is German? His email has a german name...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Menneisyys:
You might have missed the point: for some billion people, 40th's homepage is inaccessible and any way of purchasing his stuff is plain impossible.

"It's not what you say but how you say it"? I don't know what this has to do with the subject.

Finally, what do you really expect when a paranoid guy like him calls community leaders like me "Third, you are way too buddy-buddy with warez-holes". When I asked him to prove his point, he just refused to answer. He's paranoid - that's the problem. (BTW, it's not only me that he seems to really dislike. There are some other guys - also comm. leaders - at the PPCMag forums, AximSite and several other sites that he has managed to make enemies with.)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marco899:
This one does : http://www.webdico.com/red/

I was just currious about the site and with the above one you can take a look.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Menneisyys:
40th Floor, I've privately e-mailed you the following stuff, but also post it in public:

"Hi,

Frankly, I don’t understand why you hate me so much... because I’m a community leader at AximSite too – and on several other sites? Another “news editor” at AximSite used your cracked stuff and you promptly generalize and think all of us AximSite leaders are pirates? Well, doesn’t matter – I am ready to forget all this, if you don’t want to continue this stupid flamewar either.

Currently, as you may now, I’m working on the Multimedia Bible (you might have already read two of its excerpts now). Probably you guess that means tens of hundreds of readers. If you don’t want to see iPlay / Phantasm in there, it’s no problem with me. However, if you do want to use this as a chance to do some advertising, I’m ready to include it in the tests. Based on my previous experience with it, it’ll become at least a “Recommended”, particularly if you support both local and streamed HE AAC v2 playback - do you?

As I’ve stated in my prev mails, I’m ready to pay for your app – I’m not asking for freebies."
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Menneisyys:
Thanks - a no-go either. BTW, do you have direct access to his site?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] marco899:
And with this one:

http://www.webdico.com/red/index.php?q=aHR0cDovL3BoYW50YXNtLjQwdGguY29tLw==&hl=2ed and click on "surf now"

And yes i have direct acces with the proxy.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] KukurikU:
working. thanks, thru the back door....lol
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Menneisyys:
Of course, I meant "thousands" by "hundreds".

Nevertheless, I've been waiting for over two days for the "proof" of my being a "pirate". A single, simple evidence. Or, is simply being a community leader at AximSite suffices? :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] KarhU:
Well - you are Microsoft MVP. Microsoft Software is probably the most pirated software in the world. And M$ actions imply Microsoft really does not like pirates - see their financing of BSA and other pirate hunters. I think it means that this title would not be awarded to a person that is a pirate or encourages such activities. You are one of best known members of this community and I can say that I have seen tens of post where you erased/edited warez link and/or banned the users providing such a stuff.

Honestly I do not get it why this thread was not locked yet - commercial software authors usually pay for advertising here or get their posts locked (see the case of FingerFriendlyFriends). This guy also blatantly violates the forum rules by his trolls and flaming. If he does not want people to download and pay for his software it is just his thing - he does not have to apologize for his decisions. His actions and calling other people names is a different matter though. The reason which he uses is ridiculous, but it is his right to think so as much as it is our right to tell him to return back where he came from.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Menneisyys:
You have a point there... I'm still keeping this thread open because I really would like to find out why the dev is so goddamn paranoid. And, to get an evidence of my having dark alley buds :D The guy still haven't delivered it.

BTW, at AximSite (see the linked threads), some people have even stated his player is based on stolen code and this is why he doesn't want to get more exposure / bans half of the world from his homepage. Dunno if it's true.

stop being so "heavy" about what this frick said or is saying.

close the damn topic. i know you have better things to do!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Menneisyys:
Well, I would still like to see him explaining what he bases his calling half odf the world "criminal" - not only me, but tons of other community leaders. For example, he has also called "criminal" one of the HPC Factor community leaders because she wasn't able to access his homepage either....

Guys, any way to access 40th webiste from Canada? I tried all proxies, browsers, configs, etc. I can't. I REALLY want to just buy that goddamn palyer. 40th, if you reading this - why forbid access from Canada? Anyway, please if anyone knows email address of this guy, share it. Really want to buy 40iplay.

P.S. jaegermeisterQB6a@40th.com doesn't work.
