Any opinion on whether it is Wine to run Win apps like iTunes or just run
WinSomething in a VM?

Check the AppDB at winehq.org for status of any application you want to run under Wine.
iTunes-9.0.2(latest tested) does not install/run with latest Wine-1.1.33 [1], which
gives it a rating of "garbage" :-)
I gave up on Wine long time ago, and just use WinXP VM in VirtualBox or Vmware Player, much 
less pain to setup and use, and much easier to manage.
