How connect to MediaPlayer on android using php file

Question

Last time I started using MediaPlayer in android app. I want to connect file to the server using php and play mp3 file. When I try to connect to a php file I get the error:

W/System.err:     at android.media.MediaPlayer._prepare(Native Method)
at android.media.MediaPlayer.prepare(MediaPlayer.java:1458)

at com.android.internal.os.RuntimeInit$MethodAndArgsCaller.run(RuntimeInit.java:496)
at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:1100) 

My android activity code :

MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
mediaPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
String ip = "http://myIp:80/rec.php";
try {
    mediaPlayer.setDataSource(ip);
    mediaPlayer.prepare();
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}
mediaPlayer.start();

My php code :

<?php
$file = 'directory/file.mp3';
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: application/vnd.android.package-archive');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=file.mp3');
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
header('Expires: 0');
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
header('Pragma: public');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($file));
ob_clean();
echo readfile($file)
?>

When I connect to a php file with my browser download of file the starts.
