If you simply want to open the stream in the default music player (so that you don't have to deal with implementing player buttons, continuing running in the background, etc.), you can use an Intent:

Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.parse("http://example.com/file.mp3"), "audio/mp3");
startActivity(intent);

If you're not currently in an activity, use getBaseContext().startActivity(intent), or something else so that you can call startActivity() on a Context object.
