A podcast episode is unplayed if you haven't yet played at least part of the episode, either in iTunes or on your device.
If you play an episode on your device, the player sends this information to iTunes when you next synchronize. Even
better, your device also lets iTunes know if you paused in the middle of an episode; when you play that episode in
iTunes, it starts at the point where you left off.
