It works in my v6inf version but not in the v7 complete, just as kenmo said - you can upload but it has no effect. I never used it in v6  so I dont care that it isnt there in v7comp. I agree that which ever way they chose to disable it, the final result is the same - you cant use it in the artist line.
But, there is a practical difference - if the button isnt there or if it is disabled, you know it cant be done. If it is there, an average user will assume its usable. No software maker will assume the user will know or remember what is available or active at any time. It is a common practice to let the users know what can or cant be done by making buttons or other gui elements available. So its a very bad programing practice just to let the user go through the motions when it leads nowhere. I hope it was done this way by error/neglegance, because the alternative explanation is that they dont care about the effect on the user or worse, it was done out of cruelty:).
Kenmo, if you feel sorry for other users who might fall into the same 'hole' report it to e-on, perhaps  they'll fix it properly. But if it is clear that the software you bought isnt supposed to do it, wouldnt you better off just moving on to potentialy productive things?
