I have the Samsung YP-T9 and this worked fine with Amarok in 7.10.  
Have not tried it in a later version. IIRC there is a firmware update  
needed to get it to work properly. Try this link:-

It's aimed at the T9 but should be applicable to the 5K. It's the only  
best I've found that will play my .ogg files.
