DeadBeeF can convert audio files easily.

(For a solution to a possible problem, see How to convert audio files in Deadbeef player.)

There are different options but they are not editable

and new converting options can be added and edited

What command should I add there for a different FLAC level of compression for example?

In fact the options are editable: you cannot remove the built-in options, but you can add modified versions of them by saving the changes under a new name. (You cannot make changes and save under a pre-existing name.)

So, the easiest way to add convert options is to use the 'Copy' button and then modify the commands and titles.

For FLAC:

Select [Built-in] FLAC (compression leve 5) --> Copy --> Title: flac compression level 8, command line: flac -o %o -8 -ignore-chunk-sizes - --> Ok

See flac -h in Terminal for variables. 0 is the largest file (best quality) and the fastest process, 8 is the smallest file (best compression) and slowest process.

Similarly for the other formats.
