Apple has launched a suite of marketing tools and programs for the iTunes Music Store (ITMS) that makes it easy for labels and artists to promote and sell music via its online music service, according to BillBoard Bulletin. Called iTunes Producer (paid subscription required), the free suite of tools are due at the end of the month and will allow record labels and artists to easily upload, manage, and sell content via the ITMS. The publication also notes a new marketing partnership in which labels will receive a discount on Google advertising when marketing the ITMS. Apple also has an iTunes Link Maker, a simple web interface that will automatically generate HTML for songs at the ITMS.
