Easy to setup, just mount it like any other MP3 Player, USB Flash, etc. mount /dev/sda1 -t vfat /mnt/gogear
However the GoGear indexes its music in a SQL database (MyDb) so you'll require openGoGear.

Download, extract, compile http://sarovar.org/download.php/516/openGogear-0.01.tar.bz2
You'll also need SQLite and ID3Lib (I just pacman'd them).

Plug-in your GoGear and wait around 3seconds for the usb-storage module to scan the drive and issue the mount command (above).
Then copy your music over to /mnt/gogear/_system/media/audio (as root, unless you mount it with u/gid=xxxx) and run gogear_flush /mnt/gogear/_system/media/audo/MyDb to empty the Db (DO NOT delete the database file, you wont be able to add any music then [blank file; http://70.85.164.146/MyDB]).
Then type gogear /mnt/gogear/_system/media/audio/MyDb /mnt/gogear/_system/media/audio/*.* to update the MyDb file, once complete type umount /mnt/gogear && rmmod usb-storage and disconnect your device!

If you don't umount and rmmod, next time you connect your device it will turn it self off, not sure why...
