	I received this thing as a gift, and as far as I can tell, it is expressly designed to be incompatible with a Mac. It uses "Playsforsure," Microsoft's DRM crap, but it doesn't just control DRM files, it controls everything. OS X cannot copy non-DRM files to this "GoGear," nor can it recognize the HD. It simply does not exist as far as OS X is concerned. Even if I sell this POS on ebay it won't cover even half the price of an iPod, and I'm short on funds now. So is there any way at all to get this thing working on a Mac? I'm on a PPC OS X 10.4.
