Technology, music, and audio books. What do they all have in common? They happen to be three of the things I love most in life. (besides my family, of course!)

Music I have listened to most of my life and I fully enjoy it. My sons have even convinced me that techno isn't too bad either. I have always been a book worm since elementary school and for the past 5 years or so, audio books have been my choice of delivery. I just love being able to do other things while someone actually reads to me. Technology I've been heavily involved in since high school. It comes really, really easy for me. I'm known as a master troubleshooter of all digital things.

What a joy it was for me to be able to pair my interests up with the MP3 / iTunes site for BellaOnline.com! I'm Valerie Shoopman, by the way, the new MP3 / iTunes editor. I'm looking forward to expanding this site and increasing the amount of technical tips and timely information to help you navigate the world of digital media.

This site is for all of us who love music, books, information and learning in a digital format. I want to hear from you! Tell me what you have in your media library, how do you organize it, what services and accessories you use, what type of information you need, what kind of how-to articles you want. This site is meant for learning and sharing.

I will keep you updated on new articles and reviews when you subscribe to the MP3s / iTunes Newsletter. I plan to publish this newsletter weekly to keep up-to-date on the constant change in the digital world. There is a box at the bottom of the page where you can submit your email address to subscribe.

I know. You love music and media files, you just don’t love giving out your personal information, I understand. Don’t worry, BellaOnline will not sell, trade, giveaway or lend your email to anyone. You won’t get spam, all you will get is this newsletter and when and if you decide you don’t want to get it anymore, you can unsubscribe. That’s it – MP3s and iTunes on your terms and your time.

I'm looking forward to getting to know you and sharing my knowledge and love of technology, music, and books with you.

Don't forget to enter in your information and subscribe to the MP3 / iTunes newsletter so you can be up-to-date and stay informed in the ever-changing, fast-paced digital media world.
