The addition of Beats will make our incredible iTunes lineup even better, extending the emotional connection our customers have with music."

> It is the day before my fifth chemotherapy treatment and I am in a quandary.  I want to go for a long run, but I’m not sure I have enough time to recover before my drug infusion the next day.  I’ve failed to get out early; if I run, it would be at 5 p.m., leaving less than 24 hours before the treatment starts. But it’s sunny and 70 degrees, a beautiful spring day.  How can I not go?
