I did a search and found cutmp3 might be what your looking for. It is command line and looks like it can edit mp3's.

If it is about size in bytes, then you can decrease the bitrate, for example, this will shrink the size. For this you have several options, what I use is avconv (in the past ffmpeg). See the manuals with man avconv or man ffmpeg.
