I need to buy something that is
- cheap
- will record in solid state some kind of MP3 stream of about 3 hours
length or more
- that can be stuck on a disk later as a record of meetings.
- that is relatively unobtrusive - no not trying to bug! just don't
want a huge box bristling with dials that looks pretentious.

quality only need be good enough to be able top prepare transcriptions
by a competent audio typist and to clearly ID what was said.

Any recommendations?

I do NOT have a smart phone or any other 'gadget' that might be able to
do this already, nor do I want one.
