"Inappropriate ioctl for device" when ripping CD with abcde on OSX

Question

I'm trying to use abcde (compiled from Macports) to rip an audio CD on OSX 10.8.5:

$ abcde
disk1 was already unmounted or it has a partitioning scheme so use "diskutil unmountDisk" instead
cd-discid: /dev/disk1: open: Permission denied
[ERROR] abcde: CD could not be read. Perhaps there's no CD in the drive?

Right, permission denied, retry with sudo. But it still doesn't work:

$ sudo abcde
Password:
disk1 was already unmounted or it has a partitioning scheme so use "diskutil unmountDisk" instead
cd-discid: /dev/disk1: DKIOCCDREADDISCINFO: Inappropriate ioctl for device
[ERROR] abcde: CD could not be read. Perhaps there's no CD in the drive?

What is wrong? How can I make it work?

Answer 1

Apparently abcde doesn't automatically detect which device corresponds to your CD drive. If you look at the output of mount, you'll see that disk1 is your hard disk and disk2 is the CD drive, mounted on /Volumes/Audio CD. You can specify the device explicitly with the -d option to abcde:

$ abcde -d /dev/disk2
