新华网北京11月13日电 美国科技博客网站Gizmodo援引《纽约时报》的报道称,谷歌公司今日将宣布为其谷歌眼镜新增音乐搜索和播放功能。

据美国《纽约时报》报道,谷歌公司今天将宣布一项有关谷歌眼镜的重大举措:全新的音乐功能,将为佩戴者带来更好的音频体验。

报道称,谷歌眼镜不久将提供歌曲搜索功能,使用者只需对着眼镜“发号施令”说“Listen to”,眼镜就能让用户在早已保存的播放列表里搜索歌曲。由 Play Music功能支撑,这一音乐功能可让佩戴者根据自己的喜好下载音乐,还可在云端获取其他播放列表及歌曲推荐。

为了让眼镜的音乐功能发挥到最佳,谷歌公司将开始发售专门为眼镜配备的环绕立体声耳塞。现在,如果购买谷歌眼镜,你只能得到随机携带的单个耳塞,但从下月起,85美元就能买到一对环绕立体耳塞。

谷歌眼镜新增音乐播放功能,这当让是好事了,你每次想换首歌听的时候不必掏出手机翻来找去,这也许是谷歌眼镜想要带来的便利吧。《纽约时报》称,谷歌眼镜暂时只兼容谷歌自己的音乐播放设备,但报道说未来或引入其他播放设备。加入第三方应用软件之后,谷歌眼镜的音乐播放功能可能会更受欢迎。

NYT: Google Glass Is About to Get More Musical

According to a report by the New York Times, Google will today announce a rich new set of musical features for Glass which will provide a better audio experience for those who choose to wear the devices.

The paper explains that Glass will soon allow users to search for songs, scan through saved playlists and choose songs by simply barking "listen to". Powered by Play Music, it will allow the wearer to stream their own music, or access other playlists and song recommendations on the cloud.

To make the most of the new features, the paper claims that Google will also start selling a new set of stereo earbuds for Glass. Currently you only get a single mono earbud with the device, but from next month $85 will apparently secure a nice new stereo pair.

Certainly, there's a convenience in not having to whip out a smartphone every time you need to change a track, and presumably that's what Google is hoping to leverage. For now, the paper claims, the device will only support Google s music services—but it also adds that others are expected to be introduced over time. It may be that third party apps can make the new functionality even more compelling.
