Here is a fast and loose script to try...
-----------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh

NOATUN=$1

cat $NOATUN \
	|sed 's/^ //' \
	|sed 's/^<ite[a-zA-Z0-9=" ].*file://g' \
	|sed 's/" enab[a-zA-Z0-9=" ].*\/>//g' \
	|sed 's/<playlist[a-zA-Z0-9=" ].*>//' \
	|sed 's/<\/playlist>//' \
	|sed 's/<!DOCTYPE XMLPlaylist>//'
	
-----------------------------------------------

invoke it as...

scriptname noatunlist > newlist.m3u

It worked on the lists I tried it on.
