set x to 0
open location "spotify:user:wunspe:playlist:meininki"
tell application "Spotify"
    set the sound volume to 0
    play
    repeat 10 times
        if sound volume is less than 70 then
            set sound volume to (sound volume + 10)
            set x to (x + 9)
            set volume output volume x without output muted --100%

            delay 3

To run a compiled script (file) you have to omit the -e flag and pass the full path to the script

/usr/bin/osascript /Users/myUser/path/to/my_script.scpt

If you write

osascript -e "set Volume 10"

after the -e is the full content of the script.

if you put into some file (lets call it volume.scpt)

set Volume 10

you can call the script-file as

osascript /path/to/volume.scpt
