My friend does it with a VM and Win7.
or Read through this. I can't verify any though because I just fire up my offline windows gaming disk and use Itunes there.

You want the guest OS to store data on the host OS?
You can make a directory or paritition from the host OS available via network, possibly restricted to local connection, and mount that on the guest OS. You can do that right now, using NFS, SMB, FTP, SSH, WebDAV, or whatever, and mount any of them with FUSE wherever you need them to be in the guest OS.

Here is a good place to start - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone. The list there is not exhaustive and may a bit dated, but the information should be enough to get you started.

Tried iTunes in Wine. Didn't work.
Amarok can sync your iPod and iPhone with your local collection.
Clementine should be able to do it, too.
