For touch users, I don't think not having access to these floating buttons
would be a problem if there was a very convenient way to go up and down
list/grid levels. Right now, the only way to go back up to the previous level
after entering an album is to click the little back arrow. I don't think that's
very convenient, even for mouse/touchpad users. A breadcrumb and the ability to
swipe right to go back would probably help improve the experience of navigation
for both touch screen and mouse/touchpad users.

There are probably ways to also improve the experience of adding albums to a
playlist for touch users that don't interfere with mouse/touchpad usage, but I
can't think of much right now.
Maybe drag and drop? That could interfere with view swiping.
Maybe long press to enter selection mode so that pressing the queue button in
the toolbar queues all of the selected items? Long press isn't very
discoverable though.
