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.

Why they’re no install … just delete it …
It shows an error message “Error hooking Spotify. Please restart EZBlocker after restarting Spotify”. I’ve run it as an Administrator. Still not functional.
Thank you for the nice update, everything is working as expected.
I get an error on hooking.
Run administrator
Thanks for the update.
Great piece of machinery 🙂 Thanks a lot!!!
I have a completely different issue, not addressable with any of the 3 “tags” that i am supposed to use to report an issue. Launching EZBlocker throws an error: Error hooking Spotify. Please restart EZBlocker after restarting Spotify. I THINK the cause is simply not letting the software wait for long enough. I’m on a rather slow mechanical harddrive, in a 5-6 year old laptop, with limited amounts of RAM. This means launching EZBlocker doesn’t instantly launch Spotify, it takes 10-15 seconds for Spotify to launch, and half a minute to fully load. If launching EZBlocker after Spotify has launched,… Read more »
I get the same error on an i7 4790k with 16gb ram and an SSD.
And now that i’m back home, i can confirm, it does the same on my overclocked 2500K (4.5gHz, 8gB RAM, and Samsung SSD’s. OS 830, music storage 850 Evo,)
So, it seems to just be a weird glitch?
Thank you for confirming it early on. I see a lot of people have posted about it since…
