Hi A new version is ready.
It is even smaller now (22 MB with wifi, linux and Squeezelite). The WiFi is working, and it has a set-up script to set-up both the WiFi as well as a USB-DAC.
You can get it from here:

I hope you will enjoy it - and please report back if you have problems, but I would also like to know if it is working without problems for you.
Please notice that for me I had to use WPA protection on my router, otherwise my Comfast WU710N: chipset RTL8188CUS USB WiFi dongle would give me problems with stuttering audio from the 3.5" audio jack. If I was using a USB-DAC I could use both WPA and WPA2 protection on the WiFi.
So If you have problems with the sound on a WiFi connected piCorePlayer, please try to change your protection on the router to WPA
Steen
Here is a Howto:
HOW TO:
After download of the PiCorePlayer burn it to a SD-card (I use Win32Diskimager) then insert the SD-card and apply power.
Right out of the box, the analog audio via the 3.5" jack is working. The player can be controlled like any other Squeezebox player, via the Squeezebox Server or Logitech Media Server (LMS), or via softwarre on your smartphone or duet controller.

SETUP:
If you want to use a USB DAC, you will need to supply the correct squeezelite commands - for this you can use the setup menu.
The setup menu can be initiated in two different ways:
1. Connect via a LAN cable and use putty from another computer (user=tc, password=nosoup4you).
At the command promt write; picoreplayer which will start the setup-script.
If you want to use WiFi the use the setup-script - remember that the IP adress via WiFi will be different from the IP adress used for the LAN connection
2. If you have a keyboard and screen connected to your raspberry. At the command promt write: picoreplayer which will start the setup-script.
