As much as I hate dealing with a lot of files and ID3 tags, streaming music sucks for mobile devices for a couple of reasons:
- 3G quality and speeds are guarranteed everywhere and every time. I was left with nothing but the songs I had on my SD card when I was on vacation on an island.
- Constant streaming kills battery life, killing your phone and music player in one kick.
- Because of massive roaming charges, you can forget using it outside of the country.
If you don't travel much, have a good plan and don't mind the battery issue, it could be useful.
