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.

Same as the other comments, not working as of today. When I try to re-download chrome says that the download is dangerous and can’t be installed.
i’ve been getting the “Spotify is paused” when spotify is not paused, but it does recognize when spotify is open. i then downgraded to spotify 1.0.80 (the newest is 1.0.85) but the problem still occurred
Like everyone else, it says, “Spotify is paused” for me too.
Hello! I received the dreaded Spotify update today. EZBlocker, as others have mentioned, continuously says that Spotify is paused, when it is not. HOWEVER, I have (always had) “Disable all ads” enabled, and EZBlocker continues to block all the ads. Karl
not muting ads since today, says spotify is paused even when playing a song. tried force closing, logging out, and redownloading EZ, same problem. coincidentally, an element from my download keeps getting blocked now, a file named nircmd.
Doesn’t block ads and your download contains a trojan
