You’ll need to downsample them to 48kHz to play on Sonos. A simple batch processing exercise if you choose the right software.

I’ve always used dBpoweramp Music Converter. It’s often recommended, but isn’t free. That said, there is a trial period.

Do you mean the FLAC compression level? I usually just leave such things on the default setting. It doesn’t change the quality -- it’s lossless -- only the final file size and the encoder CPU effort required.

Standard CD is 44.1.

yes, 44100, then the file size went from 100mb to 30mb

You don’t want to resample 192kHz to 44.1kHz. The maths is awkward. Use 48kHz instead. It’s an exact quarter of the original sampling rate, so the decimation is simple.
