Well, because you're carrying the portable device around anyway. And it doesn't require a network connection, so it works even when you have no cell coverage.

I don't quite understand how your "streaming it this way on the go" worked?

It's pretty rare I go anywhere that lacks good enough cell service to stream FLAC with. I don't even live in a city, but I get it if you're really remote or can't afford cell service.

It's rare for me, too, but just last week I was up near Volcano, CA, and there's no Verizon there.
