I believe the only good reason to use iTunes is because of an iPod or iPhone. If you have an iPod. There *is* a patch to make wine work with the latest versions of iTunes (can't currently find it), but you'd probably be better off with an open source player. My personal favourite is SongBird. Alternatively, you could run a Windows machine inside Linux using a virtualisation product such as VirtualBox or VMWare. Hope I was of help.
I can't report on VMWare, but on Virtual Box running iTunes has some pretty severe usability issues, especially if you have a large music library. For example, extremely slow response to search or UI focus change. Delay between audio and video when playing back mpeg video (from iTunes store. Horrible just isn't the same out of synch). No visualizer capabilities. Also was never able to get the virtual machine to recognize the iPod for synching. Serial Turcesc Havin To Ate Episoadele Soy Luna In Romana.
This one maybe conquerable, but not a simple task 'out of the box.' The people who have posted are right. ITunes, even if you were to get it running, suffers on WINE due to poor USB Syncing support.
You are better off running a different program. If you're used to iTunes, I recommend SongBird or Rhythmbox. If you don't have an iPod, use Songbird - it is most reminiscent of iTunes and you would find yourself very much at home.
However, it does not sync well - Album Art, as of right now, is a huge problem (you can use gtkPod for your syncing if you wish). If you do have an iPod, or just want a faster program, use Rhythmbox. It's basically the same interface, albeit a little less attractive, but it makes up for it in speed. I used Songbird for a while, but have since switched to Rhythmbox.
