"The GoGear Philips HDD0xx series of MP3 players can be mounted with the
usb-storage module, but merely copying MP3 files onto it is not enough,
since the player needs to read information about the tracks from a Sqlite
database file, usually named MyDb."

It seems there are a number of GoGear open source projects that will do mp3
transfer with Sqlite updating.
