I agree that an official AppleScript bundle would be a nicer interface. Don't read too much into the specific decisions I made about how things should work – it was very much a process of trial and error.

I wrote another SIMBL hack for Spotify a while after the hack day, which is also on GitHub.

It's a shame they don't offer a proper Applescript dictionary or something: I'm writing a controller and doing so was not easy given that half the event handling happens in stripped C++ code and not via the normal Cocoa mechanisms. Anywayho, made good progress. Was interested to see that in your code you used the spotify TrackInfo structure directly: any reason you went this way rather than just hooking into the Growl send method and extracting the details from there? (that's what I'm doing for now...)
