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.
Closing spotify causes ezblocker to spam “Spotify not found, please restart EZBlocker.” The application also stops responding and needs to be killed in task manager.
Update to latest.
Doesn’t work and my log file is full of “The remote name could not be resolved: ‘9001751.spotilocal.com'” any ideas?
Make sure you have enabled “Allow Spotify to be started from the web” in your preferences -> advanced.
“Allow Spotify to be opened from the web” is on
Weird “play on spotify” gives me “the spotify application is not responding” if I start spotify through EZBlocker, but if I run spotify normally it works
“1.0.43.123.g80176796” on W10 with all updates using dec 1 EZBlocker
I have the same issue, on and off (different remote name). “Allow Spotify to be started from the web” is enabled. Is there anything else that might be causing it?

If you close Spotify, EZBlocker will spam notification saying “Spotify not found, please restart EZBlocker.”

Of cause it does, when you close the application. Are you a dummy or what?
