You do say "taste in music." The only time you might say "taste for music" would be if you were speaking of music in general, eg--"I never developed a taste for music--I always preferred reading books."
Taste in clothes, music, whatever just means what type you like. Such as, "My taste in music runs mostly towards blues music."

Taste IN music is the correct term. No one says taste FOR music.

1) The following are the same: "What is your taste in clothes?", "What style of clothes do you like?"
2) If you have a taste for music, it could imply that you eat what you hear. However, I would suggest that the following phrases are more correct: "He has a great taste in music.", "His ear for music is incredible".

We DO say "taste in music." "Taste in" just means the type--of whatever--you prefer.

Maybe because one is actual material, and the other is sounds?

Simply put - preference of style ... preppy, goth, yuppy, conservative, etc

It's just the idiom.
