Do you currently use Windows or a Mac?

I use windows
but my problem is after flashing the image in the sd card
I open raspi-config and I expand the file system an after that i do not know how to continue

ok, did you flash the piplay image to the sd card or did you flash raspbian? Either way works, but if you did raspbian, then you will need to follow these directions.

I flased piplay
PiPlay 0.8.0 Beta 9

first, make sure that you are booting to the command line, not the desktop:

sudo raspi-config
choose option 3: boot to Desktop/scratch
Console Text console, requiring login (default)

next you want to check your /home/pi/.profile record. This is a file that gets run on startup and should be what calls the piplay main function.

If you can't find the following lines in the .profile record, then you need to add them:
type -> nano ~/.profile

if [ "$DISPLAY" == "" ] && [ "$SSH_CLIENT" == "" ] && [ "$SSH_TTY" == "" ]; then
    cd /home/pi/pimame/pimame-menu/
    python launchmenu.py

ctrl+x will exit, (if changes have been made, press 'Y' to save them)
Then type 'exit' and that should reload .profile and launch piplay.

I did the first step but I don't know how to do the next one
I have tried to type
nano ~/.profile
but it puts there is no file or directory
and when I try to launchmenu it does something but then always is stuck in the same place where I can type commands

Howdy, Stranger!
