You man there actually is something which will detect MP3 recorders?

There are devices that can detect when electronic devices are being
used.
There are devices that can be made that can detect almost any known
material
If said mp3 player is made of that material it can be detected.



Which is not entirely applicable, since plenty of
non-recorders are made of circuit boards, ICs & other
discretes, and some plastic. Cell phone and pager are two
quite common ones.

And what is a common item to circuit boards, IC's, cell phones, pagers,
MP3
players, etc.

Yes, which is one of the reasons why detection of these
won't help, unless ALL such devices are banned which is
unlikely... but again, we dont have the specific scenario to
consider.

Depends on the OP, his office can ban those items in the work place.
The point remains they are detectable.


There are devices made to detect the presence of semiconductors, and
these
have been out for ages.
And now with the war on terror going on, you would not believe what kind
of
sensors they are coming up with.

Minor modifications of some of these units would not be very difficult to
detect a mere MP3 in someones pocket.

Unfounded speculation.

Nope.

But then these would not be cheap either, if you can even get one.
