To last the longest time possible with all the new latest new apps and OS versions that come along, then it's best to buy the newest Mac running the fastest and best processor, which for an iMac would be an i7. The i7 should be able to run Apple's newest OS for a couple more years than an i3 or i5. To last for what you need it to do is a more difficult question. Many people are happy still using a Core 2 Mac, or even an old G3 or G4 Mac. If all you want to do is play iTunes music, then pretty much any newish Mac will do that ... until Apple changes the file formats and/or iTunes store to require only the newest Mac OS version or two.
