Yes, of course. I like using portable players, so FLAC is counter productive there. I see no point in streaming anything if you can just put files on your player and not depend on any connection.

Sure, if that works for you, but my collection is too big to fit on my mobile device (even after encoding it in Opus instead of FLAC).

I suppose my use case is rather rare, but even then, why not give the ability?
