It's not my issue to claim detection of different devices
proves detection of an MP3 player recording. Rather, it is
your burden to be specific with the claim that it's possible
by showing even one reproducible example.

We have no reason to believe a scenario like the OP has (too
vaguely) posed, would allow identification of a device as an
MP3 player that is recording. Identifying the existence of
"some" kind of device, then a search uncovering this device
and a physical examination to determine that it is recording
(looking at the screen or lights) is another matter.


I can clarify whatever you are unsure about if it helps.


The specific scenario should have been, needed to be
mentioned at the opening of the thread. Because it wasn't,
the time spent on the thread wasn't very productive and many
have lost interest.

Actually it is only for those who need extra info that I can provide
clarification. Most others here don't seem to have that need.


For your thread to have a productive outcome it needed to be
posted either in the opening post or soon thereafter. Even
now you are withholding this info so we have to assume you
don't really care. If for some reason you were overly
paranoid about something, you would merely leave out any
specifics that were identifying.


You've just been espionaged! (What a wonderful word!)

Anybody who's been following this thread, and understands the general
field, now has a pretty good idea of the state-of-the-art in
surreptitiously recording spy-vs-spy.

The initial conditions either weren't considered and were accidental,
or were tailored exactly to get this state-of-the-art summary.

The question is, WHO have you been espionaged by?

Industrial spies?
Terrorist spies?
Government spies?
Other categories of spies?
An author writing a techno thriller?
All of the above.

Who would want to know that kind of information?

(Just what seems to me an obvious paranoid possibility. It would be a
lot more fun than asking on the writer's help boards.)

Have a happy Halloween!
