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.

Hey Eric, thanks for you continued efforts. Same error patching spotify, Ezblocker may not work…failed to remove ezblocker from spotify via task tray…so as others say, ezblocker doesn’t block ads…I tried all that you suggested.

The ad was paused and resumed every couple of seconds and could still be heard.
Here is the log data I could gather (4 app crashes, userSettings, app log): https://mab.to/Z31mwdcIV

It’s not blocking ads properly anymore. But thank you Eric for your hard work. I look forward to the patch!
Blocker detects Fantastic Voyage by the Lakeside as an ad. This is a song.
Spotify ads are no more muted. I love the tool so please fix. 🙂
Works until ad then repeatably pauses & unpauses. Changing songs doesn’t work, only restart fixes. FeelsBadMan
I believe Spotify isn’t offering a desktop version anymore, even the download from the website still gives the Windows Store version. I would think reverting to the old version would work though.
