Review on Pyle Multi Channel Bluetooth Preamplifier Receiver - High-Power 3000 Watt Audio Home Speaker Sound System with Radio, USB, Headphone, AUX, RCA, Dual Microphone with Echo, LED Display, Wireless Streaming P3201BT by Tina Peterson

With these new Pyle receivers/amplifiers (e.g. P3201BT) with USB stick support, file systems and audio codecs are almost fully functional and working correctly! Test media: SAMSUNG MUF-64AB/AM FIT Plus 64GB FILE SYSTEMS Tested and working file systems: FAT32/VFAT, EXFAT Tested and unrecognized file systems: EXT2, NTFS WORKAROUND: For EXFAT file systems created with Linux 5.12 (Samsung version code) , I had to run a Windows 10 disk scan (and/or Linux fsck.exfat); and after completing and reinstalling the USB flash drive, it finally became a readable Pyle P3201BT receiver. (Initially tested with filesystem tag zero, no "mkfs.exfat -L" tag.) AUDIOCODEX Supported/tested audio codecs: APE, FLAC, MP3, WAV, WMA OggBUG: I have the Picard tag editor files used by MusicBrainz for previously tested audio and now after adding the metadata tags only the MP3 file played on the P3201BT. ERROR: ID3 tags/metadata not showing, only **** *.ape, *****.flac, *****.mp3, ******.wav, ***** .wmaMY NOTES Not surprisingly, the NTFS file system was not recognized/supported due to lack of open source support. However, it would be nice if an additional EXT2 file system was supported for dedicated Linux computer users. I failed to test the UDF file system further, as the UDF file system is also used by dedicated Linux users on USB sticks, but error checking (e.g. fsck) does not exist on Linux. More important function is missing, missing M4A/ AAC support! Unless I'm wrong with the well-supported M4A/AAC codec utilities on an open source OS and/or Linux, the receiver lacks support for the very popular M4A/AAC audio codec! I think most would pay a few bucks more for royalties. Regardless, the PCM WAV or FLAC support couldn't be better as I absolutely hate using lossy compression codecs! . I used Linux software id3lib-3.8.3 with prefix LC_ALL="en_US" (e.g. ASCII/8859-1) or LC_ALL="C.UTF-8" , exported to CBR and VBR when using 1GB or 64GB SD/USB flash drive. Nothing works and I only see "*****.mp3" in all versions of the audio file. For APE/WAV/WMA files: *****.ape, *****.flac, ******.wav or *****.wma. I also tried reformatting the media to fat32/vfat and exfat. I've tried writing id3v1 and id3v2 tags and both but the display still doesn't change.
