Lots of points.

In 6.5 AlienStreams and some of m3u support was within AlienBBC. The
"import" facility is now part of SC7 and so any bugs are part of SC7
and need to reported as such.

I think the Alienstream feature in AlienBBC  was implemented to provide
support for hierarchical lists of URLs as this feature was not present
in SS.  The enhanced Favorites with Import meant that Alienstreams was
effectively redundant and could be removed from AlienBBC.

Regaring the test - in your example with the file:// it may be a typo
but your example should have had 3 slashes if your are providing the
full path as in 
file:///Users/danco/Friday Play.m3u 

There seems to be a problem with file handling but this is common SC7
and so it reported as a bug.

I think it is a case of  Alienstreams falling into a gap. Import is now
part of SC and not solely related to AlienBBC and updated user info on
SC7 does not appear to be ready yet.

To keep info more current and it is easier to update than the AlienBBC
web site, I am going to add info to the AlienBBC wiki entry.  Current
thoughts include

1. Installation and Trouble shooting.
2. Common problems
3. How to do addons and some example.

I think there is a need to advise user how to add categories etc to
favorites as there have a been a few thread on it.
