Sorry for not fixing this sooner. I've updated the workflow to work with Mavericks. Re-download, install and it should work straight away.

Hi everyone, this is a workflow that adds keyboard controls to the Spotify remote I made, called Reign. If you're unfamiliar with Reign: it's the Spotify remote for friends, colleagues, housemates and yourself that works in any browser. It allows you to play, pause, skip and choose tracks on a Spotify client that runs on a remote Mac, through a web interface. It's available for free on the Mac App Store, visit the website to learn more about it. While the web interface is cool, it's even cooler to be able to skip it altogether and let your keyboard do the work, using Alfred. That's where this workflow comes in. You can download the workflow here: https://raw.github.com/DangerCove/reign-alfred2-workflow/master/Reign%20for%20Spotify.alfredworkflow The source-code and setup guide is available on GitHub: https://github.com/DangerCove/reign-alfred2-workflow To get going, follow these steps: Download the latest workflow file; Install by double-clicking it; Press your Alfred shortcut and type reign [ip/hostname]:[port] Change the ip/hostname and port to those of your Reign server. Copy it from the browser URL bar (remove the http:// etc.), now press return; That's it, now just type reign [command] Commands that currently work: reign host [ip/hostname]:[port], change the Reign host; reign np, show the Now Playing info; reign n, next song; reign p, previous song; reign s, toggle play/pause; reign o, open the current song in your own Spotify client. Zhao Cai' Ruby based Alfred 2 workflow template came in pretty handy. Questions, feedback, let me know!

Hi Saul, I'm the guy that made Reign and it's great to hear it works well in your studio. I've actually been dying to make this myself and just spent this Saturday creating the workflow. You can get it here: https://github.com/DangerCove/reign-alfred2-workflow. It's a work in progress, but all major features work and it will definitely help you get away from the (ugly) web interface . Make sure you follow the Installation guide. It'll help you setup the hostname and port correctly. I'm planning to make that step redundant, but that'll require some work on the app as well. Hope this does what you (and hopefully a few others) were after!
