Wed Sep 19, 2018 9:47 am Post subject: Hello! |
 
|
I was looking for a dedicated section or topic, but couldn't find one. This should do. 
Hello! I'm 607, from the Netherlands; born in 1999.
When I was younger, my father used to listen to this site a lot. I didn't know English yet, so my understanding of the "streamingsoundtracks.com. Number 1. Period." was rather off.  I think this was in 2010 or 2011. I really enjoyed it when he requested a song and we waited until it would play.
He stopped using the site later, for what reason I don't know (perhaps too little time).
My father sadly died at the beginning of 2015, completely unexpectedly, and thus I didn't ever hear about this site anymore. I still remembered it though, and tried to find it through Google multiple times, but to no avail.
My mother didn't know about the site anymore, and I couldn't ask my father. However, it turned out he had (unknowingly) left me a hint: when I got my first MP3 player in 2011, he put a collection of film music on it to get me started. I knew most of it was from a special event on Qmusic, a Dutch radio station, but not all was. I have always kept this folder of music, even when I abandoned my MP3 player and moved my music to my phone.
Now, last week, I got a song on there (I always have it on Shuffle) that sounded nice, but I didn't know where it was from. "Orville's Notebook" was the name of the track, and the artist was included too, so I looked it up. But, to my surprise, I found very few useful results.
But one of the results was SST! I was delighted to have finally found the site again, especially when I saw that it still looks exactly the same. 
I figured I'd have to make an account soon, and I did now. I'm not sure if I'll use this site much, as I mostly listen to video game soundtracks. Still, this is really cool to check out, at least every now and then! |

Welcome to SST! Sorry to hear about your father. Do you happen to know his SST user name?

Thanks for the welcome.

He hasn't posted much, apparently, nor requested many songs himself. I wasn't expecting him to have any posts here, though, as as far as I recall he only participated on Dutch forums, even though he did know English.[/url] |

I hadn't seen your reply yet. Yeah, my father got me into many things, and I'm on multiple forums where I'm the youngest guy around as a result. 
That's cool, I didn't know! |

Thank you, 607, for finding us and sharing your story.
Since we know that a member has died, I wonder if there's a way we can mark his profile to indicate that. |

Would that be necessary, though?
By the way, I wonder why this is the case and how it is enforced?

Hi 607, thank you for sharing your story.
The one-hour minimum makes sure that it stays a radio station, otherwise, it would be a radio on demand thing when no one is requesting, and in short: we do not have a license for that. |

Welcome to SST, 607, and what a touching story. I've been listening to this station almost daily since 2005, and I have discovered so much wonderful music as a result. Including video game music. I do hope you enjoy the site and explore all it has to offer.
