Google Glass can now officially play music – app available in MyGlass

Google has now added the Play Music app to the MyGlass page, allowing Glass users to use voice controls to play music through the device. The announcement was made by Google engineer Stephen Lau on Google+.

The Play Music APK was first spotted in the Glass XE11 update last month, and users were able to side load the app, but it was not officially listed by Google at the time. Now it is. As we explained then:

Once the app is loaded, simply say “OK Glass, listen to,” then the name of a song, artist, album, or playlist. A card will then pop up with results and allow you to specify what to play. A new card also stays pinned for further music control, including Play, Stop, Skip, Rewind, and volume control … 

If you previously installed the Music2.apk, you’ll need to uninstall it first.

Glass Explorers can order stereo earbuds for Glass from their GetGlass page. The second generation of Glass will come with an earbud, but only a mono one as standard.
