I would go to Philips website and download the firmware for your MP3, after its downloaded run it and it should install itself onto your mp3. It sounds like your mp3 player just got formated somehow.

My PC is not recognizing my Insignia KIX MP3 player any longer

Have you tried changing the cable to another one you know works or have you reinstalled your players drivers?

if you haven't done so, try to uninstall the drivers for your device and then reinstall them. With the player plugged into your usb, open up your Device Manager.

for XP, right click your MY Computer on the desktop and select Properties, click the Hardware tab, click on the Device Manager button. Im not a Vista user but on there I believe you open the Properties on My Computer still, then on the left side of the System Information window, click the Device Manager link.
(or hold Windows Key and press the Pause key to open DM)

Once in the DM, locate your player. Usually under the Universal Serial Bus Controllers. It may be named Mass Storage Device or something else. If you cant recognize it in the list, unplug it an plug back in while looking at all the USB deviced currently installed.

If you see no changes at all as you plug/unplug your player then you may have another problem.

Mp3 player won't play

That is the problem with services that give you DRM-protected WMA's - as soon as the subscription lapses, the song cannot be played on your mp3 player anymore. The only way around the problem is to either: a) renew your subscription, or b) get a music service that gives you DRM-free songs, preferably a service that gives you the songs in mp3 format.

Not recognized by PC

First off.. Make sure your software and drivers are up to date...

Second, try re-installing Windows Media Player or if you have WMP 10 installed, try upgrading to WMP 11.

Also, if you plug in something else to your USB port, does the PC recognize it? Or, if you try your GoGear on another computer, does it work ok?

Phillips Go Gear 6GB

The Phillips website has a solution for this:
Go to the FAQ for this mp3 player. It'll tell you to install the Device Manger which will repair the problem. I've done this, however, the Device Manager claims my mp3 Player is not connected.

Try this yourself, you might have better luck.

Formatting issue

Does the device show connected? If so check the device manager for any red or yellow errors. If there are errors, right click on the device and select un-install. Disconnect the device from the computer, wait a few seconds and reconnect. The device should re-install the drivers and device should be recognized. Best of Luck.
