"Do you have children's music?"
Translation:У вас есть детская музыка?

I'm native :). So if this sentence refers to music created by children (a children's choir?), then I definitely will say 'детская музыка', if it refers to music created for children, I'd say 'музыка для детей'.
I guessed as much. "We" is a rather poor defined term. Still, I am not sure how many native speakers agree with you. The expressions both mean the same but I would not use «музыка для детей» other than in the title of a book, maybe. The corpus search, too, suggests than "музыка для детей" is seldom used.
It is just that I saw you message in a different topic where you seem to suggest that natives use "рисовая каша с молоком", which is just a word combination you might use — for one, I did not even know such meal. Абрикосовое рагу с огурцами is no worse.
What I mean, a native speaker might say that occasionally, which is not the same as "we prefer" or "we call it that".
Ok, I agree, this phrase really might have at least three different interpretations. I think, you can delete this tread.
I've also added 'also' to that rice topic to resolve the ambiguity.
Ская is the equivalent to 's for English? Is it the same for all nouns to denote possession?
