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.

Dear Eric
could you add option to run minimized from commnad line?
Does this stll work undetected by Spotify? Or am I gonna get my account banned now? 😮
(Talking about their recent new security measures)
Great! It works perfectly on windows store version, even the experimental features work. Thank you very much
Since ~2 days, it doesn’t work anymore, it just won’t mute audio ads. Don’t know why, maybe they updated Spotify…
Nice, I wish there was something like this for mobile.
There is, they’re free versions of cracked Spotify Premium APKs, but do not use them. They used to be no strings attached Premium (barring offline downloads) but Spotify has started cracking down on any accounts doing this, and are threatening to ban them as well.
Yea it happend to me suddenly and now im pretty mad about it. randomizing my songs and having ads every 5-10 minutes ruins the experience for me and it makes me even more mad that i need to go through hundreds of songs and attempt to just download them so all i need is a music player app to play them.
Today Spotify disabled my Android App, because I was using LuckyPatcher.
Do you think Spotify knows if EZBlocker is working?
Yep. Been using modded apks but, since yesterday couldn’t login to my account in mobile anymore.
Atleast I can still use the PC desktop client.
Wish there was a way to clone/export my Spotify data, not just playlists but also my listening history based on which daily mixes are prepared.
You can do it on Android with an automation app. Set it up so that when a Spotify notification occurs, it checks whether it’s a song or an ad, and toggles the mute appropriately. You might not be able to mute only Spotify, though, but that’s less of a problem on mobile because typically you can’t play audio from multiple apps simultaneously anyway.
It’s working on the windows store version(1.0.74.380.g1fcff12a)
blocks ads from the CW!
its no longer working. something’s wrong it wont start up with error message “Error hooking spotify. Please restart EZ Blocker after restarting Spotify”. tried everything but doesn’t work.
This has been an issue since this version got released back in august. Just do as it suggests, launch EZ blocker again, after Spotify has launched. I’d suggest starting the music, so you know it’s “really” started. The cause seems unknown, but i haven’t tried to stay on top of the topic. It has been suggested that it’s something that affects “slower” systems, but i doubt it. I have a 2500K overclocked to 4.5gHz, with 16gB RAM, and launching the software, both Spotify and EZ blocker of my OS drive, which is a Samsung SSD. (250gB 850 Evo) While it’s… Read more »
