The Samsung YP-K5 can read the OGG format, but you can’t use it on Linux when you just bought it.
To make it works in UMS and use it with Linux You must do (You’ll need a computer with windows XP):

WARNING: SAVE YOUR DATA FIRST!!!

*Download the firmware on this page:
HERE

(The firmware proposed on the other countries pages are not good)

* Extract the package
* Copy the three files on the root of the player
* Unmount It
* Switch it on, the firmware should install
* Switch it on again
* You could have a message saying that you will delete a 18MB file
* Plug the player on your computer
* Now it should appears like a USB Disk
* Format it
* Unmount the player
* Switch it on
2 possibilities:

* It works but it’s in Korean, it’s quite easy to browse and change the language
* It doesn’t work, copy the 3 files on the player’s root and repeat the procedure. (It took me three attempt before it works)
