Many MP3/Video players surely do not run an embedded Linux.

Besides, it doesn't matter what "many" devices run if the talk is about

I use my SD cards not only in the camera but also as generic mobile 
storage with laptops and media player.

There is no way for software to detect that a medium is going to be used 
with a 8.3-only device exclusively.
