Feature Request

I'd like to be able to use the codec tinker to reduce the size of the FLAC files that I'm downloading.

Most of the biggest files in my library are FLAC 24b 96khz that I cannot differentiate from FLAC 16b 44khz with my normie setup, and they are usually around 3 to 5 times larger.

This is limiting my music storage capacity, and currently the only way to get a reduced filesize would be to download non lossless formats, which I'd rather avoid.

It should be straightforward to run separately as a script running a loop around ffmpeg, but it'd be neet to have it directly in lidarr.

Priority Level

Would improve my experience (medium priority)

Are you willing to contribute to this feature?

No, I'm just suggesting the idea. I can be a guinea pig for testing tho.
