Files are created as root user about spotify-downloader HOT 3 CLOSED

@fireXtract I tested with creating a new user on my machine. You could just run the script without sudo and everything seems to work fine. I can delete/rename/modify the files without root. Does that fix for you?

Yes that is true. My bad. I went looking for a solution to a problem that didn't exist! One will run into issues if they run the script as sudo then later as a regular user. This is because the last_albumart.jpg at the very least will have root as owner. My posted code will need to check if 'SUDO_UID' exists before writing chown, otherwise the program wont run WITHOUT sudo.

Yeah. Basically, don't use the script as a lower privileged user after using it as a higher privileged user otherwise it will cause problems.

@fireXtract thanks for this issue. I made a commit in README.md to remove sudo as it is not necessary at all.
