I would like to merge three separate iTunes libraries. Here is more information:
- Currently have 3 separate iTunes libraries on 2 laptops and and dekstop.
- Want to merge all three onto the desktop (i.e. it has all content), while maintaining the other two laptop based libraries as-is.
- I want to avoid getting a slew of duplicates within the merged library.
- I am not concerned about maintaining the library (i.e. playlists, etc.) on desktop.
- I am not concerned with maintaining perfect sync, so could repeat the necessary procedure periodically to remerge libraries.
I am ok with using the command line, Python or applescript if that's the way to go.

Haven't tried it myself yet but looks like it will give you exactly what you need.
EDIT:
Script Method: http://guides.macrumors.com/Keeping_2_iTunes_Libraries_in_Sync
I actually use this technique myself.
Creates a "carbon copy" of a library on another machine which you can then sync to reflect changes.
Works best with two Macs, never tried it with a PC.
