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.

Great application! Thanks for your effort. How about making Ezblocker close Spotify when Ezblocker is closed?
I used to be able to skip ads with this application. Now it only mutes it. EZBlocker Version: 1.7.2.5
Spotify Version: 1.0.86.337
When I stop playing Spotify, after a few seconds it automatically resumes my music. Also, when I play a song, sometimes it gets auto muted even when it’s not playing any ads.
I get a Microsoft .NET Framework error, if I click ‘Continue’, it keeps popping up regularl:
Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately.
Configuration system failed to initialise.

for about a month my friend feed has been unable to load on multiple wifi networks. spotify also unpauses itself randomly but i’m not sure if this is related to ez blocker.
Guess We need an update because it can’t delete the ads
Thank you for your great software.
With the newest release of Spotify is not working.
EZBlocker Version: 1.7.2.5

Works great and Blocks all ads for me. But When I pause my music it keeps resuming it 23 sec later. So I have to hit pause again every 23 sec if I am trying to hear a youtube video or something.
