Hopefully the ErrorLog told you to set Options +Indexes to get a
directory listing.

Is there a way to get around the requirement of an index file being in
there? i.e. it links but access is forbidden because there is no index file.

Create a link to /music , not a link to a path in your filesystem
(your HTML editor probably did this)

You need to understand the difference between URL paths and file paths.
Apache mounts (or attaches) the folder specified in the DocumentRoot
directive into the URL-space at '/'. Therefore, if you ask for
'/music/', and your document root is "c:/www-root", then it looks for
the folder 'c:/www-root/music/' on your disk. There is NO WAY to specify
a hyperlink that looks at your D drive, or anywhere outside your
document root. To work around that, you can alias other parts of your
filesystem in the URL-space, with the Alias command.
To then use that alias, as posted by Eric Covener, you would have a URL
to linking to '/music/foo.mp3', which apache will translate to 'd:/my
music/foo.mp3'.
I hope that makes it clearer. If not, the manual is a good read.

This...
Alias /music "d:/my music"
<directory "d:/my music">
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</directory>
...Doesnt work. Does it have to be somehwere special in the config file?
stopped and restarted apache to refresh config file.
furthermore the link path upon clicking shows file:///D:/My Music rather
than http://localhost/D:/My Music

I read all Alias Instructions in manual. not clear to me.
How do I add an alias and/or add a directory block that will work?

What does your error log say? Did you add an Alias for those
directories? Did you add a <Directory> block matching the one for your
DocumentRoot to allow access?
