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.

Spotify still starts music again a few seconds after pausing. At version 1.7.1.2
i still get the pause issue in the latest version unfortunately. It goes from playing to paused then to muting: spotify and then resumes.
also it takes about a second longer when it resumes than the previous version for whatever reason.
I would also like to say EZBlocker is the best of the best nothing comes close love it. keep up the great work.
Updated to 1.7.1.2. Might help some who are still having issues with pausing. I’m unable to get it to happen for myself, so it’s a bit hard to test.
It still unpauses itself, no problem with 1.6.8.6 though.
Did not help for me, sadly. Still resuming after ~1 minute
Works for me after the update! Thank you so much!
For me, when i pause spotify, ezblocker switches status from paused to muting spotify. This might help
updated but I still get the pausing issue (and the “pop-up” ads show, however the banners seem to be blocked)
Having the same issue with 1.7.2.5. I pause spotify and it resumes after a few seconds.
When looking at EZBlocker it shows:
Muting:
It’s actually playing the song at this point. I then pause and it changes to:
Muting: Spotify
then after a second or two it unpauses and goes back to :
Muting:
again
The new version has problems. When I pause songs it will unpause them after a few seconds.
Banner ads still show up.
The Friend Feed fails to load.
I just downloaded 1.7.1.1. It did not fix the pause issue. Also whenever I play a song it starts off muted and then I have to manually unmute it, and then it’s good until I pause, then it just randomly unpauses it. I have the boxes “block banner ads” and “start spotify with ezblocker” checked not sure if that affects anything. It’s spotify version 1.0.85.259.g4ab01679
