= nfo Placement =
Music will fetch additional album and album artist information from nfo files.


For additional '''album''' information each album needs to be in its own unique folder, and have a separate album.nfo file located there. See the first table below.
= Disambiguation Pages =
<dpl>
category = Disambiguation_pages
</dpl>


For additional '''album artist''' information each artist needs a separate artist.nfo file located in what Kodi determines as the unique common folder for that artist. Kodi does not fetch additional artist data for artists that only feature on songs, either on compilation albums or as guest artists on songs in albums by others, and you do not have any albums by them in your collection.


{{note|There are weaknesses in the way that Kodi determines the location of the artist folder. It looks for the folder that is common to all the songs with that album artist, the name of that folder is irrelevent. If you have multiple albums by an artist all under an artist folder then this works perfectly.
However the algorithm does not work for collaboration albums, those that have more than one album artist e.g. "Riding with the King" by Eric Clapton and BB King, or classical music with composer, orchestra and conductor given as the album artist. Also if you have not kept all songs by an artist under a unique folder, then the artist directory will probably be mis-identified. The result is that Kodi can find the wrong artist.NFO file, and give the artist some other artist's information, or fail to fine the artist.nfo you created}}
