Never mind I got help from another user:
The Ansewer is
<b>In Terminal</B>
ln -s
(with a space following the "s")
Drag the mp3 folder (original) onto the Terminal window
Drag your mp3 alias onto the Terminal window, and the add "copy" onto the name
If you look at your site you should be able to click on mp3copy and reach your mp3 folder You might need to click the refresh button of your browser (to remove the old page from the cache).

Did you find you had to change permissions of the folder that is symbolically linked? I get a 403 in my browser trying to access http://localhost/MusicCopy which is a symbolic link to: /Users/username/Music
Here is what my Apache log complains of:
[Sun Jan 13 20:32:26 2002] [crit] [client 216.191.76.228] (13)Permission denied: /Library/WebServer/Documents/MusicCopy/.htaccess pcfg_openfile: u$

Yes make sure that you chmod the symbolic link and the folder as 755.

No problem. Isn't that what the Macintosh Community all about?
