Apples & Oranges... iTunes is (was?) a library application more than a player. It also has origins in audio, not video. Then again I think the "correct" behaviour is dictated by the principle of least surprise... If I've told a video player to start playing files on open I would generally expect the player to bring itself to the front after specifically dropping a media file onto it. With an audio player I'd be a little surprised if it took over my computer (unless the app requires visual interaction). I don't need the app to be frontmost to hear it through the speakers. The right choice for you and your users can't be answered definitively by a mailing list. For more "guidance" see what other popular or Apple apps do (e.g. QuickTime Player, etc) or do some usability testing with some target users.
