I believe https://github.com/citelao/Spotify-for-Alfred/releases/tag/v0.13 was the last Alfred 2-compatible release; I do not know if it still works. It is very hard to keep a working Alfred 2 version :(.
I'd love to do those things! Take a look at https://github.com/citelao/Spotify-for-Alfred/issues and add some feature requests if you'd like!
Ugh, I know! Alfred changed their default theme on me, I think... I've worked around it by using the MacOS theme, but you're right; I should try to change them. See https://github.com/citelao/Spotify-for-Alfred/issues/118.
It controls the Spotify app, just like the iTunes mini player, so you'll need to install the app for anything to work :D.
There's a beta API for controlling players remotely, if you have premium, which I can look into, but there are a lot of pain points I'd have to fix before that would work. So just Spotify app for now
Thanks for the kind words, Sam!
Assuming you're running the latest version, which is v0.13.2.1 as of 31 May 2017, try logging in again:
Type `s` from the main screen to open the settings menu
Select "Login again to my Spotify application" and follow the remaining instructions in the web browser that opens.
If that doesn't work, please send me the log file that appears when the error hits (the third option on the error page will open the folder that stores these logs). Good luck!
Yeah, it's a bug in the new version.

You can workaround part of it by editing the info.plist in Spotifious.app/Contents like the solution above says, but "play track" is broken, so you can't queue songs from Spotifious. You can still get player info and play/pause/next/prev though.
EDIT: Oh, and Vdebs chimed in. Yeah, reverting to 0.9 will also fix it. Thanks!
