I don't tend to make playlists that i keep forever, but I do like to
make playlists "on the fly" as I am listening - and then bin the list at
the end.

However I have always had problems with all controllers, hardware or
apps, where if you accidentally press the track button instead of
calling up the sub-menu and choosing "add to end", then the controller /
app replaces the whole list with the tracks from the album containing
the selected track.  In the case of Orange Squeeze you have to hit the
little triangle on the right precisely to call up the sub-menu,
otherwise you will erase your carefully assembled playlist.

Looking for a way to avoid this I found the "Default Play Mode" under
the "Preferences" menu of Orange Squeeze.  This gives the following
options for the action when a track entry is touched:-
- Prompt
- Play Now
- Play Next
- Add to Playlist (same as "Add to End" in the Logitech Controller
menu)

For me the most useful function was "Add to Playlist" which I selected. 
This meant that I was able to select a sequence of tracks simply by
touching each track entry.

What actually happened is that when I touched an entry all the tracks in
that album were added to the playlist, not just the track I had touched.
I tried this two or three times and the error was repeatable, but not
entirely consistent.  Sometimes the individual track was added and
sometimes the whole album, but in any case the problem made the setting
unusable.

My workaround has been to use the "Prompt" function which brings up the
sub-menu when I touch a track, from which I can choose the "Add to
Playlist" option (which works as expected).  This is less error prone
than trying to hit the little triangle precisely but I would still
prefer to use the "Add to Playlist" option if it worked reliably.
