I do my research and can't find anything useful, maybe I'm using the wrong keywords, nvm.

if I try to run spotify for example I got "Unable to initialize the storage of temporary files" error, but if I go sudo spotify it works like a charm.

Same thing on clementine got "librarybackend attempt to write a readonly database unable to fetch row" but if I run sudo clementine works great.

Now I know the power of sudo so, how can make this work without typing sudo everytime?

I was thinking adding to group users, but dunno how to do it or if it safe to do this, on the spotify folder y even chmod 777 the file but still doesn't work.

I'd guess that at some point, files in your home directory became owned by root (because of misuse of sudo). Try chowning them back:

sudo chown $USER:$USER ~ -R

Change owner folder of spotify locate in .cache of your user and change the ownership:

cd /home/YOURUSER/.cache

sudo chown USER:USER spotify -R
