Garry,
Check out the Olympus WS-200s. You can Google for it to get full specs, but
this little guy records in wma. In its highest quality which they call shq,
you have 4 hours and 20 minutes. This mode is stereo. If you don't care
about stereo, you can use HQ which brings the recording time up to 8 hours
and 50 minutes. It is very small and thin, and the unit comes apart to
reveal the USB connector. The unit plugs directly into your USB port and
shows up as a drive in Windows Explorer. No special software needed unless
you want to convert the WMA files into something else like mp3. The unit
also has indexing with a button on the front that will allow you to index
while recording or during playback.
Note that there is a WS-100 available as well, but it has half the memory,
and does not record in stereo.

This is definitely a concern - am looking at an Olympus DS-2 which should
give me ten hours of HQ recording and don't want to degrade it too much.

I have one of those, mine only records for an hour at high
quality but
they have better ones out now. Mine produces compressed .wav
files. I would
use goldwaves batch converter to convert to mp3 however this
means the files
get encoded yet again which retuces quality.
