No way to do it on the fly that i know of, you'd have to convert from FLAC to mp3 first and then transfer to phone.

@vanhoivanbinh - intersted to know if you can actually tell the difference between lossless and lossy formats played on your phone through headphones or buds? I prefer ripping CDs rather than downloading, and using EAC + LAME to rip CDs to flac and VBR (V0) mp3s I can't tell the difference between the two when playing on the Desire (running PowerAMP and pair of SoundMagic MP21s). Having VBR mp3s saves a load of space on SD card compared to say flac, more space for more music at the end of the day .
