Thank you

Maybe try to download musics from a program like Itunes or limewire I tried it and my philips works fine.

The GoGear is very particular about which file formats it will accept. If you only download files in mp3 format, from a music service such as eMusic, you will never have any problems. If you download WMA's, the WMA may not have the right license type, and you will get exactly the error message that you are describing. The GoGear is not compatible with iTunes at all.

Download only files in mp3 format, and you will solve your problem.

Well that is DEFINETELY the place you got your music from wich caused that, Try changing the place you download music from to, LIMEWIRE... And if it still doesnt work then somethings wrong with windows media player... SORRY IF THIS ISNT ENOUGH HELP... :S

Those WMA's have a particular DRM-encryption system that the player does not recognize - they have play rights, but no real transfer rights. Convert the files to Mp3 format using Media Monkey and you will be fine.

-Tha Mp3 Doctor

The songs are in the wrong format - they are probably DRM-encrypted WMA files that you are trying to transfer, and the license on those files are wrong; they are either "fixed-term" or lack "transfer rights"

To resolve, either upgrade your music svc subscription, or convert the songs to Mps format

Omg, none of the b*%#&#@ in costumer support was able to help me out and I know it could be frustrating. Here Is a sloution took me five hours to come up with it finally found it if you are having this problem you could not probably restore factory settings from your go gear. But after doing what I tell you this is the way your gogear is going to be back to Normal.
1st. Connect your gogear to the computer with usb cable.
2nd. Don't enter windows media player or device manager or anything to that has to do with the go gear.
3rd. Go to thisweb page (http://www.usasupport.philips.com/consumer/productDocuments.html?ProductCode=HDD6330/17&subCat=HDD_AUDIO_JUKEBOX_SU_us_CONSUMER) Scroll down on the page and download (Firmware Upgrade Software).
4rd. Save the files to your documents they are zip files so unzip them and save them to your documents.
5th. Open your gogear on "my computer"(folder).
6th.Take the two files you saved on your documents they should be(DeviceDiversity) and (FWImage.ebn) and drag them to the folder named "Data" in your philips go gear.
7th. Disconnect the gogear(mp3) it should turn back of. If not turn it back on manually.
8th. In your gogear(mp3) go to "settings" then scroll down to "Factory Settings" and "Restore Factory Settings"
9th. Let the demo do it's magic.
10th. After 10 minutes get off the demo by pressing the off switch.
11th. Reconect the gogear(mp3) and go to "My Computer" right click the philips gogear and left click on Format. Let it Format, when done click (ok).
12th. Disconnect the gogear after you are done formating.
13th. Reconect gogear and then synchronise your music with windows media player.
14th. When done sychronising !ENJOY YOUR MUSIC!
