You cant simply load FLACs onto your phone it kills the free storage in the blink of an eye. Try loading 1000 FLACs vs MP3s. And moreover, there is a debatable gain or quality when you are on mobile with mobile gears/earphones. MP3s fit in the middle of all restrictions. I like FLACs, of course, but I can see why people just prefer MP3s
