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.

audio ads are not blocked with spotify v 0.8.5
It keeps on crashing.
Ever since I updated a few weeks ago, my Spotify won’t load any album art anywhere. I’ve uninstalled Spotify, reinstalled, I’ve also deleted ezblocker and reinstalled, but it still won’t load the album art or any image in general. I think ezblocker is the cause, but I love the program, just want the art!
i’ve been using this app for over a year now. i forgot that spotify even serves ads. thank you!
If Spotify automatically close EZBlocker, rename the tool to prevent Spotify kill the process.
Cant figure out whats wrong with my ezblocker. I have the correct net framework and i am giving administrator properties. My log is full of warnings stating: The remote name could not be resolved: ‘70461287.spotilocal.com’ Any clue what to do?
Could you try restarting your computer?
Just tried that, didn’t seem to change anything. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling also with no effect. Idk what to do 🙁
WOOOW! AWESOME!!! Love it, thank you so much!
Works Perfectly. I haven’t heard an ad since.
