I know this has already been discussed and even decided, but I open this poll for 2 reasons:

1. Knowing what's exactly what the people expect for the Pandora volume control.

2. Opening my first poll ever on a forum :p

Hope you find your preferred control in the poll options.

I'm voting for a digital control, but only if all applications use a normalized volume rule.

If not, then I choose an analog wheel.

It must be hewn from solid oak, polished with the finest linseed oil and, most importantly, it must go to 11.

Nothing less will suffice.

Yeah, I saw the typo after writing the message, and, AFAIK, there's no way to edit the poll options. :p

So, to make it clear, the first option should be read as "Analog wheeL".

Cast your votes!! ;)

You mean like the Silver Rock Signature Volume Knob?

Only $495... or it was before they stopped selling it.

I'm seconding that.

Also I'd rather they just put a slider in and didnt delay the release too much rather than struggling to find space to fit a wheel especially as the difference between wheel and slider seems pointlessly small, I know the wheel would have a larger range but generally for me I'd only change between off, half and full volume. Is there really any huge gain to be had from a wheel?? This seems to me like people are just picking on the smallest flaw atm which is not really helping the production team.

I feel like the wheel is more precise than the slider, but who knows, I've only used one on the DS.
