Applescript for “tell” Spotify to play does not work after upgrading OSX to Yosemite

Before upgrading Yosemite, I used this Applescript to manage my Spotify.

Everything worked like a charm when I ran /usr/bin/osascript /Users/jdrummond/SpotifyControl.scpt play/pause .

Now that I have upgraded my OSX to Yosemite, I keep getting this when I run the same command:

 /Users/jdrummond/SpotifyControl2.scpt:1217:1222: script error: Expected end of line, etc. but found identifier. (-2741)

So, I tried to create a simple Applescript to interact with Spotify:

 using terms from application "Spotify" tell application "Spotify" to play end using terms from

But I also get the error message:

Error

What am I doing wrong and how to interact with Spotify on Yosemite? Has anything changed?

This problem was sent by Spotify and will be fixed in the next update for the desktop client (I’m a developer there and I can check that it has been fixed).

Currently for me OS X 10.9.5 Spotify 1.0.3.101.gbfa97dfe the following simple script works

 tell application "Spotify" playpause end tell

I saved it as an application in another to use it with my Microsoft keyboard, so the play / pause button launches a simple application that plays / pauses.

Spotify destroyed the possibility of using AppleScript recently with their latest idiotic update. This is not Yosemite, this is Spotify.
