consolidating music files onto an M2 MacBook Air

I recently bought a MacBook Air M2. I have a majority of my music on a 2012 MacBook Pro in an iTunes file. In 2020 I bought an Intel MacBook Air which has more (different) music in a Music file. Most of my music was not purchased from the iTunes store but from CD's and online downloads since my musical taste are a little eclectic. I would like to consolidate the iTunes music file from the MacBook Pro and the Music file from the 2020 MacBook Air onto my new M2. How do I go about doing this. Thanks in advance. Tom

MacBook Air, macOS 13.2

See Move your iTunes/Music library to a new computer - Apple Community for general steps to move a library from one computer to another. Once all of the libraries are on the same computer you can export one library as an XML file, then import that into another library. After gathering everything into one library see Duplicate songs in iTunes/Music - Apple Community to eliminate duplicates, consolidate the library into the active media folder, then discard the remnants of the other libraries that have been imported.
