No not through USB. You can play songs on the phone via bluetooth as well. However, at least for my phone - it does not show the song list on the display nor can I browse. I can only go one track forward or backward. I think it depends on what your phone supports over bluetooth. I think you can only play music via USB with the iPhone.

JSY is correct, as the iPhone does support the necessary AVRCP profile version since iOS 4.1 (
details here).
Android-based phones are still using an older bluetooth implementation that doesn't support the right version of AVRCP (I believe 1.3 or 1.4 is required for track info). Last rumor I found said that Google should resolve this in v4.0.3, but that's just conjecture. If you're running 2.2.x or 2.3.x, you're stuck with the simple forward/back controls that JSY mentioned.
I decided music over bluetooth wasn't important enough to switch to an iPhone, so I purchased a
super-mini USB drive that has all my music on it, permanently connected to the USB port. Helps with the battery life too, when I forget to plug in the phone at least.
If you want the uber-technical explanation, it's been discussed before (hopefully, its not one of Lotus7 deleted posts).
