Android 2.2 MediaPlayer is working fine with one SHOUTcast URL but not with the other one

Shoutcast mp3 streaming from Android 2.2 onwards is supported natively .

Below 2.2 the Android OS cannot play shoutcast streams natively without using a proxy on the stream end or a stream proxy class on the device to capture the stream and pass it to the audioplayer just like NPR does.

audio/aacp streaming is not supported directly . For this you can use ffmpeg, opencore or faad2 library to decode it into PCM and play using audiotrack .Reference
