'der Geschmack' and 'der Musikgeschmack' can both refer to personal preferences. 'Der Geschmack' is more general and fits many areas, for example fashion, art, food, or interior design. 'Der Musikgeschmack' is more specific and only refers to what music someone likes. The words can be confused because 'Musikgeschmack' is a special kind of 'Geschmack'. When the area of music is clearly important, 'Musikgeschmack' sounds more natural. When it is generally about style or preferences, 'Geschmack' fits better.
