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.
If you run into any issues, comment below in detail the issue you're having.
Tried version 1.7.1.1 but it is still unpausing roughly every 20 seconds.
V 1.7.1.1 (updated just now) should fix the pausing issue.
Tried the latest file, it is still unpausing roughly every 20 seconds.
I didn’t get the pausing issue on the previous version, now I do. :/
Just downloaded the version. It mutes the music randomly and the pausing-thing is still there 🙁
But thanks for your wirk anyway. Till the update I havn’t had any problems so far. For more than a year. I hope you’ll get it fixed 🙂
Your work is amazingly impressive. I was litterally about to comment about the issue and it’s already working again.
Same problem as Loretta here with the most up-to-date version.
Moderator, please delete my previous comment. I thought I was using the most up-to-date version, but wasn’t. Now trying again.
Downloaded latest version from July 22. It blocks ads now which is great, thank you. Like others have said, the downloaded file is detected as a trojan. Also, when I pause spotify, ezblocker seems to unpause it randomly without any warning.
The blocker worked again after the update, but I found a new problem, spotify starts to randomly unpause itself if i’m running ezblocker and pausing spotify at the same time.
Also doesn’t mute them
Doesn’t block ads
Works again, thank you so much!
now it works again, but when I pause a track after 30-40 seconds it resumes on its own…
