MediaPlayer: Prepare failed status 0x1 error while streaming song

I've problem with streaming some songs in my android application. Here is my test code for creating MadiaPlayer and setting data source:

mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
mediaPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
mediaPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(this);
mediaPlayer.setOnCompletionListener(this);
mediaPlayer.setOnErrorListener(this);
mediaPlayer.setDataSource("http://streaming.ibroadcast.com/?file=MjA1MTIyMS0xMDA1NDQ1NC01MDYxNjY5LTEwMDAwMDQ=");  
try {
   mediaPlayer.prepare();
} catch (Exception ex) {
   Log.e(Constants.LOG_TAG, ex.getMessage(), ex);
}

I get this on mediaPlayer.prepare():

10-31 15:41:27.130: ERROR/NuCachedSource2(174): source returned error -32, 0 retries left
10-31 15:41:34.388: ERROR/NuCachedSource2(174): source returned error -32, 0 retries left
10-31 15:41:37.371: ERROR/MediaPlayer(5360): error (1, -2147483648)
10-31 15:41:37.381: ERROR/log_tag (5360): Prepare failed.: status=0x1
    java.io.IOException: Prepare failed.: status=0x1
    at android.media.MediaPlayer.prepare(Native Method)

I've tryed to stream a bunch of songs using this code and this problem occures only for three or four songs, but it's 100% reproducable for that songs. What is more, if I download this songs to SD card and play it from there it plays without any errors. I also able to stream it using browser. All songs has mp3 format and server response contains headers like this: 

Accept-Ranges:      bytes
Connection:     close
Content-Length:     5 MB
Content-Type:       audio/mpeg

Last-Modified:      2013 Aug 28 18:28:31-63d 21h
Server:     Apache/2.2.25 (Amazon)

Does anyone has ideas what is wrong?

UPDATE:

Here is not working song first 1024 bytes and here is working one

After analising HEX samples it reveals that your "working" file is as expected MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 with ID3v2 Tag (.mp3 file) but the "not working" one isn't mp3 but MPEG-1 Audio Layer 2 (.mp2 file). According the Android Supported Media Formats it isn't supported. It may even have a .mp3 extension but inside it is not a mp3 file.
