Tell spotify to play/pause using AppleScript

AppleScript.Spotify.PlayPause.scpt

using terms from application "Spotify"
	if player state of application "Spotify" is paused then
		tell application "Spotify" to play
	else
		tell application "Spotify" to pause
	end if
end using terms from

A more simple version is possible (Things might have changed since 7 ! years, ago):

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

Another alternative I found in this thread may be of help. It allows execution if play state is either 'playing' or 'paused':

if player state is playing or player state is paused then

E.G

if application "Spotify" is running then
	
	tell application "Spotify"
		
		if player state is playing or player state is paused then
			
			set trackID to (get id of current track)
			
		end if
		
	end tell
	
end if

Like gcerquant, this could've worked because things have changed over the years. I tried it in Catalina (10.15.7) when working on my own Spotify-Applescript program.
