Mp3s can indeed be both created and played with tools from Debian's 
'main' (i.e. completely free, as opposed to 'non-free', which is 
non-free, or 'contrib', which is free but depends on non-free 
libraries).  One such tool that can do both is Audacity (see 
[[Audacity]] on de:, en:, fr:, nl:, pl:, or zh:; Debian package 'audacity').
