Yes. With “Write to NFO Files and Media Servers” on in “Settings” › “Metadata & Scraping” (default), saving or generating an intro writes album.nfo to the album’s folder and artist.nfo to the artist’s folder on file-based sources (NAS, cloud drives, local folders); Jellyfin, Emby and Plex store it as the server’s intro. If the right folder is unclear, nothing is written. Versions after 1.13.1 (133) also write artist.nfo when a local folder source is the artist folder itself. Intros from Wikipedia or Apple Music aren’t written back.
Check that “Write to NFO Files and Media Servers” is on in “Settings” › “Metadata & Scraping”. Navidrome and other Subsonic servers only read existing intros back.
album.nfo: the album’s songs need a folder of their own (CD1 or Disc 2 subfolders are fine); nothing is written if other albums’ songs share it.
artist.nfo: the folder name must match the artist (ignoring case, spaces and punctuation) and directly hold that artist’s album folders, or the songs themselves.
If a local folder source is a single picked folder that is the artist folder, update to a version after 1.13.1 (133) and save the intro again.
After saving, expand the intro: below the source line you’ll see “Written to …” or “Not written: …”.
A Wikipedia intro can be exported as an nfo from the intro’s “…” menu and placed in the folder yourself.
