Yes, it has always iritated me that context menus are special - can't 
long-press items in the context menu to get context actions for the item.

Some things are a lot harder/not possible to do in Touch interface as a result. 
 eg. from a track, bring up context menu, and it's possible to see the album 
name.  A long-touch on the album doesn't bring up album context menu.  Touching 
the album name will navigate to the album, but from the album, it only lists 
songs, and no way to get album-context menu.

It's also a bit inconsistent that sometimes the title bar can be used for 
"current item context" (eg. Now Playing title is used for context menu for 
current track), but when browsing to an item (eg. an album), there is no way to 
get to context menu for currently viewed item.

Instead, you have to navigate to the artist, and manually find the album, such 
that the album context menu can be displayed from a long touch on that.

Like Erland says, it's possible to launch Mixers in Boom on any item at any 
time (really useful), and navigate to items, but there isn't a concept of 
context-menus on these older products.
