office = mcws.get_media_server("AccessKey", "readonly", "supersecretpassword")
mcws.play_album(office, "Ludovico Einaudi", "I Giorni")
mcws.playback_playpause(office)
zones = mcws.playback_zones(office)

    print(zone.index, zone.id, zone.name, zone.guid, zone.is_dlna)
mcws.playback_playpause(office, zones[0])
