i tried it out now, and it's the following:
-if you have id3v2.4 tags (which are handled correctly by muine or 
rhythmbox), and also in some cases for some weird id3v2.3 tags (i have 
to look more into this part), easytag will not load the id3v2 tag. and 
that's a big problem, because then in easytag, all the tags are empty, 
and when you let easytag calculate-and-save the tracknum-stuff, it will 
write an EMPTY id3v2 tag, with only the tracknum-stuff present..

but as i wrote, if you have id3v2.3 with not much weird stuff, and if 
easytag loads the data, then it's ok.

yep.

eyeD3 (version 0.6.3).
do something like:
eyeD3 -t title -A album -a artist --set-encoding=utf16-BE x.mp3
