I suspect they are into this to earn money and that means that they
won't add functionality unless they believe it will make them earn more
money. So unless someone can explain to them that better music discovery
would result in more customers, they are probably not going to
prioritize it.

I think it's around 5, not sure they all work full time on Squeezebox
stuff.

I completely agree, but the issue is that I've so far not found any
competing hardware player that does it better than the Squeezebox
products, at least not within the same price range.

Unfortunately, it's extras like these that makes it interesting to new
customers. I also suspect Logitech is more focused on online music and
their central servers compared to local music and Squeezebox Server.
