Have anyone succeeded installing Audiophile Linux in Qubes OS 4.0.3 in a 64-bit version, and if so how ?

1. Don't. APLinux on its own is deeply user unfriendly and running it under Qubes makes it even worse. Moreover any performance increase gained by running minimal distro are lost when you add the virtualization layer underneath.

2. If you really want to run an audio-oriented distro in Qubes try running Volumio in HVM.

Thanks for your advice.

It sounds like you would recommend something else instead of running an audio-oriented distro in Qubes OS... May I ask, what you would recommend instead ?

I ask because, I first tried to install different multimedia file managers, but those I have found either is quite old and is not maintained, or is being maintained but isn't able to rip CD's in WAVE-format (meaning in a totally uncompressed format), but only in MP3 or FLAC-format, etc. So I would just like to find a multimedia file manager with a nice and easy layout, where it is possible to create smart playlist almost like in iTunes and which is able to rip CD's in a totally uncompressed format and play the audio-files in the same uncompressed format by using an external DAC.
