EZBlocker is a simple-to-use ad blocker/muter for Spotify. EZBlocker will attempt to block ads on Spotify from loading. If an ad does load, EZBlocker will mute Spotify until the ad is over.
There are no fancy features, just pure ad blocking. When an ad is blocked, only Spotify is muted, so no other sounds will be affected. EZBlocker aims to be the most stable and reliable ad blocker for Spotify.
There's no setup required - just drag it into any folder and run. To upgrade your EZBlocker, simply replace the executable file.

FAQ
Why is my Spotify is permanently muted?
There may be issues with EZBlocker muting Spotify on your computer. You can manually modify your Spotify's volume by opening the Volume Mixer.
How do I block banner ads?
Check the "Block Banner Ads" box to enable banner blocking. Enabling and disabling this feature requires you to run EZBlocker with administrator privileges.
Does EZBlocker block video commercials?
EZBlocker will mute videos but not prevent them from playing. If you don't want video ads, make sure you keep your Spotify minimized.
Why does my anti-virus say EZBlocker is a virus?
The latest version of EZBlocker may be picked up by a few anti virus programs. This is most likely due to the way EZBlocker disables Spotify's ads. If you do not feel comfortable downloading the executables directly, feel free to view the source code and compile it yourself.
How do I donate?
I don't accept donations for EZBlocker. I would rather you spend your money on Spotify Premium. If Spotify Premium isn't offered in your region, I suggest donating to a non-profit such as the Tor Project.
Is EZBlocker open source?
Yes it is, and I encourage all to contribute. The source & technical description is available on Github.
If you run into any issues, comment below in detail the issue you're having.
ads still coming on Spotify even thought i updated adblocker only yesterday
Had same issue, my anti-virus was blocking the execution.
You’re amazing! And I love the fact that you don’t accept donations, such a respectable thing to do!
Audio ads not muted after disconnecting Bluetooth Headset and audio reverts to Speakers. Spotify automatically changes to the new default audio device but EZ Blocker does not.
I can confirm that, I’ve to restart EZBlocker after connecting/disconnecting. But it is nevertheless a great tool! Thank you Eric 🙂
Audio ads are not muted, EZ blocker continually displays ‘loading..” without ever displaying what is being played on spotify. Running windows 7
i am having the same problem
Same for me, Windows 10. It worked up until a few days ago, but now is stuck on Loading…
I looked at the log and it’s filled with:
The remote name could not be resolved: ‘88878466.spotilocal.com’
Just upgraded to spotify plus and dont need ez blocker anymore. How do I delete the program from my computer? I can’t find it in the program list under the “add or remove programs” menu.
