FNAC charged my credit card this morning, so I guess I might be getting it

Curious because normally "Payment by card will only be debited at the time of shipment for a Fnac.com order".
So the copies begin to be sent ?

How different ? Sound or timing ?

With Radiophonie vol. 10 it was the same - they charged me on Sunday (19.07.20), but the parcel was dispatched on Wednesday (22.07), delivered on Thursday (23.07), the release was IIRC on 24th.

it's a good sign to get your copy Jote.
For the moment, no movement for me

So I found this https://www.fr.fnac.be/a16663743/Jean-M ... earchpos=1
Always in stock for a lower price... curious

Delivery to Belgium or Luxembourg only, it seems? Via the weblink above. Boo.

I have just made what appears to be a successful purchase for a UK address from this link. Fingers crossed....

Thank you Nexxxus for the info. I was able to order it - although with Fnac that doesn't mean anything...

To partly answer your question, the first CD of the Radiophonie vol. 10 is different from Radiophonie vol. 9 in that the gaps between the tracks are shorter (about 4 s vs 5 s). I don't know whether the music itself was been remixed / remastered, but that's unlikely there were changes.

Yeah, I agree. With Radiophonie 10, I ordered at FNAC. A week later I got a cancellation message because they couldn't deliver any copies. Funny little detail: you could still order it on their website, but you'll get a cancellation message a week later again. Luckily, I had a copy at a Dutch retailer and that one came through. This time, I couldn't find any copy in any other (online) store than FNAC.

I don't want to be that guy, but it was the same with Radiophonie 10 - first it disappeared ("out of stock"), then reappeared shortly before the release (after the pre-orders were charged to credit cards). I'm not sure if any of those "2nd batch" orders were fulfilled.

since the beginning (several years) I have never been invoiced by Fnac before the shipment of the product.
What does "charged" mean? debited? Bill?

In addition they changed their site about orders, less clear I find.
I ve called this morning and say me my order is Ok.

It means the money was actually taken from my card

ok... it may depend on the payment method used

Still preferable to Interior Music >_>

(The 2001 Match TV jingles would probably be a closer comparison to these, but those are pretty good IMO and wouldn't have made my "joke" work)
