the IOException you got infer that the MediaPlayer class uses a URL to stream and it can access it so it will throw an IOException android 4.0 need the internet permission to stream form url this was not the case for pre android 4.0 so you could stream music as you want without that permission.

to fix this include this permssion in your manifest file 

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
