Hey, I am having trouble executing this. When I run it, it simply opens up spotify and plays whatever song has been paused. My playlist is called "alarm" and I am substituting that with "muzic"

Use the playlist ID instead of the name. On the playlist next to the "Play" button, click on the More button "..." > Share > Copy Spotify URI
