Had to buy it when my sd micro card died.
On my laptop if my DVD is working my SD Card reader disappears some times.
I like this USB reader
Pros It is USB
Cons Cant' think of any.
Hard to recommend if you need it for home, but I need it for work and I prefer this over the Internal Laptop reader because it works all the time.
This is the 2nd External USB to SD reader I own, the previous one broke, I don't think this one will brake as soon as the other one.
I thought I had already given feedback.
Excellent sound on my Turn Table.
Good sound as amp... yes Hybrid, but with enough power to party.
Features are great.
I finally saw the Tube List on the Manual, so I can find replacements if needed..
I waited way too many years in my life to listen to my records well enough, now I can even hear MP3
Pyle PWA25WIFIBT In-Wall Wi-Fi Wireless Audio Control Bluetooth Wall PlateSwitch

Slow at first happy at the end
- The Phone App is decent and you can try 1 of 3 versions each has different streaming support and belong to a different product brand.
- The volume seems different depending on application used, if Bluetooth is lower volume and quality than the streaming or phone controlled which is best and awesome. Of course my speakers impedance is matched and have good in-wall volume control for 2 areas (4 speakers) which all use a new 800mA power supply. The low quality/volume I got with Bluetooth (Alexa Dot) could be the reason must people don't like this system, but when I got the WiFi working I really liked the quality and the volume level. There must be something I am missing to get Bluetooth connected decently or maybe not.
- There are 5 Play MODES 1) Audio Input 2) Bluetooth 3) USB Thumb drive 4) Streaming Radio 4b) Streaming individual songs from your phone collection.
- Power up from the back or from the front. I did it from the back my Wife hates cables hanging so then you have 2 options buy a BIG gang to hide the power supply in an empty gang or like I did power from some other gang/outlet that is not as visible since my Volume Control has IR, I powered the whole thing with a bigger power supply from my external Audio IN/IR Volume control.
- On power up the system starts with a random Radio Station. The PWA25WIFIBT seems to store the settings separate from your phone app. So even if the Phone App support is gone the stations might still be there so I keep 6 in memory that way I don't cycle power too many times if I don't want phone control.
- The biggest problem I have is the MODE button, it is slow to respond and there are only 2 LED's to show the 5 modes (see above) switching from WiFi (streaming) to BLUETOOTH (need to press the MODE button until bluetooth blinks) is sometimes difficult, I get impatient and just cycle power on the whole thing or just don't use the Bluetooth as often.
- The second problem I had but gave up was connecting tablets to the BlueTooth, I was successful at connecting my Alexa dot (easy if you get the blue LED blinking just ask Alexa find bluetooth speakers and she will connect), but not any other phone or tablet I hope you are luckyer or more stubborn than me.
I wanted radio so option one was setting a Radio Station streaming (which I did trying different Brand Phone Apps) the other option -I gave up- was using a tablet or Alexa Dot with Radio using the PWA25WIFIBT as a BlueTooth speaker, like I said, I failed and gave up at connecting my Tablets to it.
- The network setting is unconventional but if you follow instructions it is easy you do it once and forget about it. Paraphrasing, you need to connect your cellphone WiFi to the FIXED WiFi of the PWA25WIFIBT and then once you configure your house WiFi you change your phone back to your home WiFi
- the worst ?? I am not certain the company survived
