after you get your new MAC set up get a couple of 2 TB drives and make a concatenated array so you'll have 4TB drive. You need more backups anyway and drives are cheap. Go to Mac help to see how to make the array.
in iTunes choose the 4TB drive as your iTunes media folder in advanced preferences
check the option to copy files to the media folder when adding to iTunes selected and also have the box checked to keep it organized
drag and drop the NTFS drives into the new iTunes
As iTunes builds your library files it will copy everything to the new 4TB drive.
It will take a very long time ( a day or 2 for 3TB) but when it is done all of the files will be on your new drives and you can save the old ones as backup.
