Using Custom Browse, I navigated to Ratings > 5* > Tangerine Dream > Tangerine 
Tree Volume 20 - Warsaw 1997, which listed one track rated 5*.  From here, I 
wanted to play the whole album that the track belongs to.

However, there is no way that I can find to play the whole album on the Touch 
interface.  There isn't a "Play All" option.  I can't long-press the album name 
in the context menu to get a context menu for that selection.

Custom Browse is only an example - the same issue exists when using standard 
menus to navigate to a filtered list of songs.

It is easy from a classic Squeezebox player IR Remote (or web UI) - navigate 
into a song, select the album name and press play.


The only alternative at the moment is to navigate to the artist, and find the 
album to play.  This is annoying - especially as I have a lot of Tangerine 
Dream albums (267!).

I've never particularly liked it that the context menu is handled differently 
to normal browse behaviour.  The problem is that the context menu is a 
collection of actions and navigateable items (and read-only properties).  All 
context items are treated as if they are actions.  I think context menu items 
that are not actions but are navigatable items (eg. artist name, album name, 
etc), should have context menus available on those items.  Then it would be 
possible to long-touch an album name within the song context menu, and then 
select play on that album name.
