Nu-Metal Preservation is being built as a dark, evidence-first archive for physical nu-metal releases: CD rip logs, cassette transfer chains, matrix codes, catalog numbers, promos, country variants, rare discs, demos, samplers, and tapes that deserve proper documentation.
The goal is not to make another generic music database. The goal is to preserve the physical proof behind nu-metal releases: exact variants, pressing clues, cassette details, rip verification data, and releases that are missing or poorly documented elsewhere.
The archive will be structured around verifiable release data, not random unproven claims.
Store rip software, drive model, read offset, secure-rip notes, AccurateRip status, CTDB status, CUE details, and log evidence.
Document the playback deck, ADC/interface, sample rate, bit depth, Dolby settings, azimuth notes, condition, and raw master hash.
Track matrix/runout data, SID codes, catalog numbers, country, promo markings, cassette shell differences, scans, and photos.
This is placeholder test data for now. Later, this section will come from your Laravel database.
