Hello and thanks again for looking into this issue.

Right now I'm seeing mixed results, as follows:-

1) ID3v2.4
 UTF-16 cannot be selected. That is to say, after choosing it in the 
preferences page and clicking "OK", upon returning to the preferences page 
somehow the setting has reverted to UTF-8. [Perhaps this is intentional, since 
v2.4 was largely about adding UTF-8. Maybe no harm would come from removing 
UTF-16 from the list of character sets for v2.4.]

2) ID3v2.3
 Better luck here. UTF-16 can be selected even though it is greyed out. 
According to my test this is generating UTF-16LE. (Yay!)

For my purposes v2.3 is now usable and this issue is resolved. The only
lingering doubt is, "what if" there are MP3 players which support big-
endian only? If so, the inability to select UTF-16BE would be the mirror
image of this bug for anyone owning one of those. By all means let's
call it fixed and see if they come stampeding forth. :-)

With Thanks,
clubsoda

Tested versions:
easytag 2.1.6-1
libid3-3.8.3c2a

PS: How about easytag-aac, will these changes flow through to it too?
