Windows Services for Unix should let you mount ext3 volumes in Windows.

What programs do you want to use? I guarantee there are free native alternatives...

i had an ext3 mounter that i downloaded that was freeware, i think i saw the link on these forums but i don't have the program on my server anymore...i can look for it but i won't make any guarantees, I have windows services for unix that i got from my school but i think it costs money...and I don't remember seeing a partition mounter(didn't play around with it a whole lot either yet though.)

mainly i have a lot of mp3 music files which i play in my music player and in windows i use good softwares like itunes for managing my music. so i wanted to run these kind of softwares in linux but it is an .exe file.
also i am just a student and i cannot afford to pay for any services.
and i still want a software which lets me mount ext3 partitions in windows.
thanks in advance!!

RhythmBox and Amarok are both good alternatives to iTunes. Amarok is more like Windows Media Player, RhythmBox is pretty much a clone of iTunes.

What do you mean pay for services?

Look, on Google I searched "ext3 partitions in windows" and the first hit is a free piece of software that lets you mount ext3 partitions in Windows.

Indeed, stay far away...actually, as far away as possible. That software can mess up a lot of stuff really quick, without notice.

I use GTK Pod as an alternative to iTunes. It got a bit of getting use to but I managed to get along with it quite fine. If you have any problems feel free to PM me.
