Samsung's website:
http://www.samsung.com/my/products/audio/mp3player/yp_t10ab.asp?page=Specifications
shows that it does support .ogg, so all you should need to do is go into 
settings -> media devices, click on the 3 cog symbol and add ogg as a format 
the device supports.

However, there is a bug in the current version of Amarok that for some reason 
adds a '&' before ogg, so you'll have to go into .kde/share/config/amarokrc 
and change the line
supportedFiletypes to include ogg and any other format the player supports.
