Answer 1

trying adding this before you set data source

mp.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);

there have also been issues noted when using MediaPlayer with URL redirects. You may need to resolve the redirects first, then set your datasource accordingly

To get the redirected url you can do soemthing like this using the soundcloud java-api-wrapper

HttpResponse resp = wrapper.get(Request.to(res));
if (resp.getStatusLine().getStatusCode() == HttpStatus.SC_MOVED_TEMPORARILY) {
    final Header location = resp.getFirstHeader("Location");
    if (location != null && location.getValue() != null) {
        String redirectedStream = location.getValue();
        //...
    }
}
