>>> plex_token = "<YOUR_PLEX_TOKEN>"
>>> plex = PlexServer(plex_uri, token=plex_token)
>>> music = plex.library.section("Music")
>>> artist = music.get("Stevie Wonder")
>>> album = artist.album("Innervisions")
>>> track = album.tracks()[4]
>>> playlist = plex.playlist("My Playlist")
>>>
>>> plugin.play_now(artist)     # Play all tracks from an artist
>>> plugin.add_to_queue(track)  # Add track to the end of queue
