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.

Stopped working for me today, says Spotify is paused even when music is playing and audio ads aren’t muted at all. Latest build.
not working! says spotify is paused
Mute doesnt work, just always says its paused.
Today it stopped pausing ads. When i open the Ezblocker windows it says spotify paused, although it is playing music.
Since a few days ezblocker detects spotify alwaya as paused, even when i’m actually listening some music. Tried different times and nothing changes
Since Yesterday, audio ads are not blocked anymore.
Firefox allowed download but upon trying to open it has a warning that “EZBlocker.exe contains a virus or is malware’ We’ve used this for years so I assume this is being flagged incorrectly?
Eric any comment on a way this could be built that doesn’t flag it as malware?
Yeah it’s a false positive, he mentions it in the FAQ 🙂 always tends to happen with these kinds of programs
Chrome seems to be blocking this from download and directs here for more information https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/6261569?visit_id=1-636677123743267693-3278018363&p=ib_download_blocked&hl=en&rd=1
go to your download tab in chrome and select ” allow/keep anyway” for that download. did the same to me and it worked.
