Let's hope FLAC support will make it into Vanilla Android, too.

Of course, if you are using CyanogenMod, you can already use
SqueezeCommander to download the FLACs to your mobile. (Well, you can
download them with any Android version, but you will only be able to
actually PLAY them with CyanogenMod... :-) )

Even with FLAC support in Vanilla Android, it may be a nice option to
support transcoded downloads, because the quality of e.g. a Q6 OggVorbis
should be sufficient for mobile playback and it saves a lot of space and
downloading time. :-)
