Google Glass users will soon be able to strap on a pair of earbuds and listen to music through their high-tech specs.

Google is adding music playback and song identification features to Glass, similar to what's already available on Android phones. For instance, users can say "OK Glass, Listen to..." followed by the name of an artist, album, song or playlist, to start playing songs in Google Play Music. More playback controls are available using the temple-mounted touchpad.

Users can also identify songs playing in their surroundings by saying "OK Glass, what song is this?"

Hints of music playback appeared in the previous firmware update for Google Glass, but reports by the New York Times and USA Today suggest an imminent arrival for these features. Impatient users can sideload the application file now, as Phandroid points out.
