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.

Same unpausing issue here, when i pause it stays paused ~20 sec then auto plays again. This is a fresh install of spotify and ezblocker btw.
Nope, I was wrong.
Is there an alternative to this tool? It seems like it doesn’t work for me anymore, after such a long time without issues. Mutes randomly songs and I cannot pause music anymore.
No more crashing here 🙂
Thanks Eric
Maybe I’m wrong. But I don’t think it’s latest version of Spotify that is the problem, but rather windows defender which believes the old “working” version of Ezblocker is a virus. After enable the old one, it works perfectly with Spotify 1.85.259.0
My Spotify updated, and it broke EZBlocker. I installed an older version of Spotify and EZBlocker still wouldn’t work.
With the new EZBlocker, it now effectively blocks ads, but I have the pause/unpause issue. I’m still using the old Spotify version.
Added a link for the older version of EZBlocker. The newest one is only needed if you’ve received a Spotify update and your old one stops working.
thanks
I just want to stop and say that I really appreciate your work. Especially the amount of effort you put into keeping this application alive and up to date, as well as fixing issues with haste.
I have “unpausing” issue too. It’s unpausing song always after ~22-23 seconds.
same here.
It even mutes spotify every time I put a new album on.
Same here on last update
same problem
