Google Glass Gets Music Features - Just Say, "OK Glass, What song is this?"

Google has now revealed that it is bringing music features to its wearable device. The Google Glass users will now be able to access Google's online music services to listen to songs and will also be able to identify music. If a song is playing while you're wearing a Google Glass, you just have to say, "OK Glass, What song is this?" and it gadget will name the song title for you. The Internet-enabled device will get specially designed earbuds to deliver high-quality audio for the user. With the voice commands in the Glass, searching or playing songs from Google Play Music or All Access is going to be easy peasy.

The Google Glass earbuds as shown in the picture below, expand the possibilites with this wearable gadget. Along with taking pictures, recording video and sending messages using touch or voice commands, users are now able to listen and share the music wherever they go. “With these new features, we’re now building a great music experience on Glass, whether you’re a classical music professor, an acclaimed sound engineer and hip-hop producer, or someone who wants to listen to their favorite tunes anytime, anywhere,” Ed Sanders, the director of marketing for Google Glass, said in a statement.
