Abstract

The digital music device has become a common household item. The newest models have become more PDA like than ever before. With this new functionality the digital music device has recently found its way into the criminal world. With the continued growth of the digital music device market, it is possible that their use in criminal activity will only continue to increase. This research analyzed some of the frameworks that offer guidelines of best practice for cyber forensics for their use with the digital music device. Literature review found little or no documentation or discussion on the forensic analysis of these devices. The frameworks were evaluated using a hypothetical scenario involving a digital music device. The guidelines of Reith, Carr and Gunsch (2002) and Carrier and Spafford (2003) were most effective. In the future, a scientific test involving a physical scene and participants separately following each set guidelines would be useful in gaining a better understanding of how each works with the digital music device.
