Many of the iTunes are on hard drives that used to be in machines but now are in USB cages.

Some of them are on older iPods (I have owned 3 iPods, she has owned 3).

So MediaMonkey can handle this with an obtuse/confusing interface I was looking for something with a smoother UI.

If the 3 computers are all on the same network you can just use Home Sharing in iTunes to combine them all in one library.  To actually move each library to the master, select the library to move in the sidebar after turning on Home Sharing in File, select all the tracks & drag them to Music which will be at the top of the master list.  The bar at the top of the iTunes window will display the copying process.  Be sure that you have authorized all of the computers in the Store menu before you begin.  Here is some information from Apple on the subject:

I have 4 iPods that have a variety of music on them.

I have 3 computers hard disks that have a variety of music burned to
them via Itunes from CD.

I want to combine all of these into 1 giant collection
and manage them and burn to 4 iPods: mine, GF, and my 2 kids

and also transfer to iTunes on my iPad, and my Windows7 BootCamp and
my Mac OSX and my Nexus 10.

I did a ton of research (printing a dozen+ articles from the web) and
tried some iTunes alternatives and I will say that most side by side
reviews of iTunes alternatives are shallow and incomplete.

It seems like the FREE or $25 MediaMonkey will do what I want but with
the clumsiest most obtuse UI ever built. A UI that make it unclear who
is master and who is slave in a sync and since it can delete on slave
the possibility of losing songs exist if one makes bad choices (easy
to do with such a clunky UI).

CopyTrans has better UI but since free version only transfers 100
songs it was hard to experiment with the whole UI to see how it will
work with many songs and many devices.

The software can run on Mac OSX or windows it just has to be easy.
Dream software would run on both, but if it has a great UI I can live
with Mac OSX only.
