EZBlocker is currently un-supported.

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.

An example: there is an album with 10 tracks. After the 9th song is played and after this song comes an ad (and this is muted), the 10th song is skipped and the album restarts automatically. It happens all the time!

That’s an awesome utility! At first I have to thank you for creating this one! You should probably add the option to play a list of MP3s when a spotify ad is playing… In this way there will be no gaps on the music. The selected list will cover the 30” ads. To my opinion it would be the best if it worked like this: ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ [AD] ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ↑ ↑ ↑ Spotify My Spotify Music MP3 Music It should play the whole MP3 from the list (better make it play a random… Read more »

This app is great! It would even be better if there was an option to replace the muted sound with one of my own mp3’s, so there wouldn’t be a 30 sec silence. . Is this possible to implement in the app?

Can you add a “remove from blocklist feature”?

your software is good, but the ‘auto-add’ feature often mistakes songs for ads, with no easy way of undoing this mistake. please add an unblock-song feature.

Hey Eric, I have got an idea for EZBlocker. I don’t know if it would maybe be possible to implement such a function in some way… I have discovered that Spotify *never* plays an advertisement right after it gets started. That means that there is always at least one song playing before there is an ad. If there was some way to lead Spotify.exe to believe that it just got started before playing the next song, it would even be possible to block the blocked 30-second ad-breaks. This would mean that there would be absolutely no difference any more to… Read more »

Hello! I have some local tracks that EZ blocker automatically adds to the block list. When I remove them, they just get added the next time I play them. It would be great to have the option to not auto add a single specific track!

Thanks for a great software!
