I'm looking for any ways to play songs in Spotify with this API without premium, and I was hoping that at least playing a playlist doesn't require premium.

Sorry, Spotipy can't help you with that. The documentation clearly specifies a premium account as a requirement. There are other ways via the api-partner.spotify.com endpoint, but that requires a user token and so much more, that I personally wouldn't recommend spending time on it.
