MP3 is still more widely supported in most devices. Taking existing MP3's, which is going to be most people that deal with MP3, and converting them to FLAC is not going to have a benefit (along with taking time, and needing to deal with tagging, of which I may be wrong but believe MP3 has better support and more tags - on top of being able to create your own key:value tags).
