Marc, I also have an M-Z1 (well my youngest son has it right now-so I'll probably
never see it again). There were many features on that unit that you no longer find on
newer portables (digital/optical out for one). But the unit uses the original version
of ATRAC. The newer units offer so much more superior sound that you'd be best to
hold on to the unit as a collectors piece and not invest any money in it.
For $240.00 (you might even be able to do better than that) Sony's R700 portable
sounds like a pretty good deal to me.
