After doing all this for a while, you can try writing down the melody and chords of a new song (chord names or spelled out, doesn't matter) WITHOUT trying it at the piano first. At any point, you can write down as much as you've figured out, which further improves your ear (I believe) as well as, of course, your sightreading. You'll make a lot of observations about music that would be difficult to learn from a textbook. All of this projects are enlightening, stimulating, extremely relevant to the end goal, and VERY fun and satisfying. Then you can add rhythm or accompaniment to make it sound more like the style and texture of whatever band or ensemble is on the recording. If that's easy for you, you can find the chords in their basic forms, then work out the chords in inversions that allow you to stay in one area of the keyboard for longer, instead of jumping around in root position. If you're just starting, figure out the melody. You can use this idea to practice many levels of listening. It's the most thorough and interesting way to learn this skill, and really, this is the goal of ear training anyway: to understand what you hear well enough to play it or write it down.
