IceCast and Android Applications? PLEASE HELP

Hello again, I'm not sure if anyone recalls, but I recently built an android application for my the live radio station I built on my website at www.theliesaboutmuhammad.com/radio.html. I successfully built the application and had it published, until I realized that live streaming urls that end in anything but .mp3 (like .pls or .axm) do not work on the android (which is unfortunate, because the iphone seems to play those urls just fine). However, I recently came across this forum post by hotweelz: http://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=E9698FA44624757&status=&searchInput=audio&sortColumn=FT.dateStampUTC&sortUpDown=DESC¤tPage=1&doViews=1, which claims that he's figured out how to adjust a live streaming radio url so that it could appear as an .mp3 link to the android and play it. I tried to go to the icecast link listed and follow the instructions, but I was completely lost. I'm pretty sure I don't have to get a new stream entirely though...but what to do?? I'm currently streaming my radio station with streammonster.com, which I can't change because they built me a free iphone application. I just want to figure out how to download the icecast server and use it as an mp3 mount to mount relay or whatever it's called, so if anyone is familiar with this PLEASE HELP. I already published my application to the market and realized this error only after it was approved. It's been weeks since this problem appeared and up until now I haven't gotten the slightest clue on how to fix it! :(

Yes I did. That's the forum link I posted in my original post. I'm still confused on how to do it and could really use some help.

I wish I could lend some more info. I'm really not the guy to ask about the IceCast stuff. Android + Streaming is just not something I have a deep understanding of. I'll for sure hollar if I learn something helpful ;-)
