The comparison should really be usb vs phone+bluetooth, the radio and streaming.
A USB flash drive is: bigger, holds the music you want to play, skips and seeks instantly, and "theoretically" can be organized how you like it.
I say "theoretically" because there are plenty of other bugs with tag grouping and sorting that disorganize your music for you.
I just wrote a python script to retag all my music. As to FLAC/Apple Lossless - it's nice not to have to resample the music too.
