Genre tags from imported mp3s are showing as numbers

Hi, I imported many tracks tagged in iTunes, and some of them show as numbers, like Alternative shows as "20", and R&B shows as "14".  What gives??  These appear to be random.  Most of them are OK.

Those codes where introduced some 20+ years ago for id3v1:

So some of your genre tags are populated with these numbers and not with the genre names, and MusicBee is displaying that as-is.
Your previous music player probably had some 'auto-translate to text' function for it.

So all you need to do is change these numerical values in your mp3 files to actual genre names.

iTunes must have been displaying them as text then.  I changed the genres back in Musicbee.  Maybe they'll stick!  Thanks
