Updating podcasts as read?

Just tried synching the podcasts to the Droid - it appears that the default music application and Salling do not mark the piece as "read"/"played" when played through. Is this something planned for the future (or merely that I'm using the wrong player)?

There really is no mechanism for us to know that a track has been played. Or to tell the DROID that a track has been played in iTunes, for that matter.

I was afraid that was the answer... so until they implement mind reading hardware to know what's been listened to, guess I'll stick to music. Still a great app! Now to wait for the 128GB micro SD cards to come out so I can sync ALL my music and pictures and....

I think they'd better switch to a different USB protocol such as MTP. Even with today's storage sizes, it's somewhat wasteful to have to scan the full SD-card to look for changes whenever it's been exposed to the computer.
