Obviously you can get bombarded with information in such instances as
these.
First of all the Pi needs to be connected to your network by being
connected (wired) to a network port on your router, *not* directly wired
to your PC.
But as Kidstypike has queried, let's try and determine you have
correctly imaged your micro sd card with pCP.
To do this you'll need an additional program...
For Windows you can use:
- Balena Etcher for Windows
- Win32Diskimager
- Raspberry Pi Imager
On Mac:
- Balena Etcher for Mac OS
- ApplePiBaker
- Raspberry Pi Imager
The premise is you use one of those utilities, specify the card you want
your image to be written to (your micro SD card), specify the image file
(your downloaded and unzipped picoreplayer.img file and then the utility
will format the card, create all the necessary partitions, unpack and
copy the files and make the card bootable.
On windows you may need to run the utility as administrator (right mouse
click the icon and select "run as administrator" from the context menu)
On mac OS the utility may ask you for an admin password.
Once that is successful you can place the card in your RPi, connect the
RPi to your router and power it up, leave it for a few minutes to allow
it to boot and then look for its IP address in your router.

PS apologies on my previous posts - missing that you wanted to use pCP
as a player as well as LMS, in that case you can skip the bits about
turning off Squeezelite and disabling Squeezelite autostart. I'l leave
setting up your Topping on pCP to others - I'm not familiar with that
process.
