I think this might indicate a misunderstanding.  piCorePlayer on the
Zero is capable of running its own installation of LMS, so you don't
need to run LMS on your laptop.  By 'Squeeze Audio Device' I believe you
mean the web interface to pCP.  All mentions of LMS in that interface
refer to the local installation of LMS, i.e. running on the Zero.  It
will never see the copy of LMS running on your laptop.  However, pCP can
also run Squeezelite as a player, which can be seen by your laptop's
installation of LMS.

So I'm not sure what your aim is, but you have a couple of options:

1) Leave LMS running on your laptop, and just use pCP as a 'player',
which will be seen by LMS on your laptop, and can be controlled through
the LMS web interface.  Music for this option does not need to be
connected to the Zero - it can be on a device connected to your laptop.

2) Forget about your laptop, and install LMS on the Zero through pCP. 
The player (Squeezelite) and the server (LMS) will then be on the same
device.  This works, but LMS is not as 'snappy' as when running on a
faster RPi, such as a 3B+.  In this setup it makes sense to have your
music on a device connected to the Zero.  I now have a 3A+ doing exactly
this (the 3A+ is just as snappy as the 3B+), and I have a compressed
copy of my music on a third partition on the MicroSD card.
