0 Those 2 questions are actually about the same. But you'll probably use the 2nd question if for example the person you are talking to says this:02br
02br
00 A: I like many kinds of music.02br
02br
00 B: Oh, so what kinds of music do you like?02br

0"what kind of music do you like?" confines the answer to just 1 genre - or at least, any one of a more generalized form: loud, fast, slow, noisy or soft. but only ONE.02br
02br
00but then, isn't the word "music" already plural because it encompasses ALL genres? so in this case, the answer may also exceed just one classification or genre.02br
