Check your template folders in the settings, in this part of the error you can see Django can't find the template:

Using engine django:
* django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader: C:\Users\Adesh\Desktop\website\music\templates\music\details.html (Source does not exist)
* django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader: C:\Users\Adesh\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\lib\site-packages\django\contrib\admin\templates\music\details.html (Source does not exist)
* django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader: C:\Users\Adesh\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\lib\site-packages\django\contrib\auth\templates\music\details.html (Source does not exist)

These are the directories that Django tried to find the template in. The directories that Django looks for are specified in the settings.py file of your project, either this variable: TEMPLATE_DIRS or TEMPLATES has the paths that Django looks for templates.

Either move the template to one of these folders or add the folder where you've saved the template to this variable.

Also see this part of the Django documentation about templates: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/topics/templates/#django.template.backends.base.Template.render

Try to add the path of your "Template" directory on settings.py file. You can check the code block below; I added full path of my template directory to 'DIRS' in TEMPLATES part and it solved my problem.

TEMPLATES = [
{
    'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
    'DIRS': [r'C:\Users\Exper\PycharmProjects\Django\Templates'
            ],
    'APP_DIRS': True,
    'OPTIONS': {
        'context_processors': [
            'django.template.context_processors.debug',
            'django.template.context_processors.request',
            'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
            'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
        ],
    },
},

]
