Why HD? A one GB flash player can record about 16 hours at the 
"standard" 128 kbit/s rate, more if you can live with 64.

But many mp3 player/recorders lack a built-in clock/calendar to time 
stamp your files.  And the controls tend to be tiny and 
multi-purpose. There is seldom if ever a dedicated "record" button.

Another recording option is a "voice recorder".  Some now write mp3 
or wma files which can be manipulated on a PC. And they have easy to 
use controls including a "record" button. Sound quality from the 
built-in speaker is not the best but generally adequate to get an ID.
