What works
After applying winetricks gdiplus (main thing to make it work) and running wine 1.7.5 (32 bit) and configuring a "drive" referring to the gvfs directory, where the audio CD gets "mounted" and adding my account to the group "cdrom":
* Most of the GUI works, minor issue: a few of the widgets or tabs don't have text labels - no problem for me.
* Playing songs
* detecting and importing audio CD (though it states at start, that importing an audio cd cannot work)
* Most of the menus and dialogs, preferrences and audio control, did not test every little thing
What does not
* The help windows are empty
* In the diagnostics dialog the tabs don't have labels
* In the Info dialog it shows only iTunes (i'd expect version and copyright or whatever)
Workarounds
What was not tested
Mainly:
* Exchanging songs with an iPod
* Did not go through all the dialogs and menus
Hardware tested
Graphics:

so seems to work faily well except for itunes store...
i had to remove distnoted.exe and uninstall applemobiledevice crap as it kept spawning lots of instances of these.
also it consumes 100% of 1 cpu core, does everyone else get this too?
any workaround for this
cheers

env WINEPREFIX="~/.wine" taskset -c 1 wine C:\\Program\ Files\\iTunes\\iTunes.exe
"taskset -c 1" limits it to 1 core... This was done in order to fix issues with too fast playback...
NOTE: It seems that actual wine versions (about 1.5+) don't need that fix any more.. You can start it normally and run it on multiple cores... (At least for me this is working now)

yeah ive tried running it with that command and the usual one, both result in 100% cpu on 1core
i also get a huge (500ms - 1s) audio latency. Any way to get rid of this?
cheers

The audio latency could occure, because of high latencys of underlieing streams.. Have you got a windows environment to test that with nearly the same circumstances? Or.. With other words.. I get high latencys too, if I try to stream music over Wifi :/
Also: Have you tried using the most recent wine version?
by adamski on Tuesday June 25th 2013, 11:43
not too big an issue anyway, i just wondered if it was a known problem or no.
cheers,

I receive a crash error when trying to access iTunes store. This expected? I cannot play some songs as they are DRM (from long ago before Apple provided non-DRM). Any suggestions? Playing other songs works fine. I also cannot see my iPhone to transfer songs around, again the DRM ones. I can transfer the songs with Rhapsody that are not DRM.

Upgrading to actual wine (1.5.31 in my case) helped. You can do so, by adding the wine repository. See:

Have an Apple TV and an Ubuntu 12.10 box, wondering if the video streaming feature still works. Thanks!

No text or icons in the window, and if you manage to find and click on the menu button, all menu options are disabled. Clicking the X (if you can find it - it's roughly where it should be, but not shown on screen), will close the window.
