Philips GoGear is a line of MP3 and MP4 players, designed to allow you to carry your music and video with you at all times. Like many portable media devices, the content on the GoGear is handled by a computer program, instead of through menus and commands on the device itself. The Philips Songbird program comes with your GoGear player -- use it to add music, video and playlists to your GoGear device.
