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.

The application no longer mutes ads, whereas it did so two days ago. It also only displays Spotify as ‘paused’, instead of as ‘playing [song]”.
Please give us an update, Spotify Ads cannot be muted anymore 🙁
Sadly does not mute Audio. Problem #1
Ads are no longer muted
Downloaded the last version and audio adds are still playing, used to work well the last 2 years using this blocker ….
Hello, it doesn´t work. It always shows ¨Spotify is paused¨ and it won´t block the ads audio. Sad…
Issue #1 – audio ads are no muted.
I see it is permanently with the status “spotify is paused” no matter what spotify is doing, maybe playing a song, a commercial or paused. While before it recognize it weel, what song I was playing, if it was paused or if it was playing an ad.
I guess what the last version of spotify did was block the communication about the metadata it communicates with another programs, or maybe specificly with ezblocker. Dear Eric, is there a Workarownd?
Thank you for your good job.
It’s not muting spotify ads anymore
