Playing Spotify playlists without Spotify?

Is there a way for me to listen to someone else's Spotify playlist link on Tidal?

Way back when Spotify started trying to take over podcasting by signing Joe Rogan (and some other people) for exclusive rights, I switched to Tidal. It's been fine, except that occasionally I encounter a link to a Spotify playlist, either on a website or (twice now!) at an art museum. I only have a free Spotify account which no longer allows me to play entire songs from playlists, even if I wanted to listen to said playlists on Spotify (which I would prefer not to).

Is there a way to open a Spotify playlist link in Tidal? Google searches seem to point to various ways to transfer your own Spotify playlists to Tidal, but not a third-party playlist. If there are ways to open and listen to a Spotify playlist in its entirety on some non-Spotify platform other than Tidal, I am open to hearing about them as well.

Best answer: Have you tried tunemymusic.com, which is recommended by TIDAL?

I gave it access to my Spotify account and it was able to read a public, third-party playlist, and offered the option to transfer it to TIDAL.

You can download public Spotify playlists from their URL with SpotiFlyer.
