Description Urs Fleisch 2006-10-04 23:06:28 UTC 
Version:           1.4.0 (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
Compiler:          gcc 4.0.3 
OS:                Linux

Reprodution:
Encode a string in an ID3v2 frame with UTF16BE, save the tag, read it again
and you will receive only strange characters.

Actually, the code for rendering UTF16BE does the same thing as for UTF16LE,
the two bytes should be swapped. The patch below fixes this:
