How do MP3 applications store genres

Anybody knows if diffrent applications can store (or display) differently genres in a MP3 files.

All my MP3 collection is alright when I use Tag&Rename but when I load them from MixMeister (otherwise, excellent application to make THE perfect mix) some are prefixed with a number in between parenthesis: example "Soul" becomes "(42)Soul"...

The guys at MixMeister told me it can be due to the fact that their soft uses Unicode Version 2.3... I find it strange behaviour (???) but then I also wanted to check with you guys from the MM community.

Any help more than welcome. Take care.

MM Is Fully Unicode compatible.

Ezample you have given with "Soul" and "(42)Soul" is Ok as 42 represent ID3v1 genre number. All thru some apps do not recognize it. Please do not Afraid about it with MM.
