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.
If you run into any issues, comment below in detail the issue you're having.
Can add feature that local track will be played during ad muting just like in Blockify which doesn’t work anymore?
Are there any plans to add the option to play local tracks from a folder while an advertisement is playing?
I used the program once. When it got to the ADs, it muted them, but i got like 5 ADs on a row. When it finally moved on to a song, it was muted. Now every song is muted.
I unmarked the Mute only Spotify checkmark, but it didn’t work. I ran Spotify without the program running, but it was still muted. My soundcard is working just fine since everything else is with sound. What should I do?
Make sure you uncheck “AutoAdd Ads to Blocklist” then delete blocklist.txt and try the one from here. https://github.com/1Seann/EZBlocker-Blocklist
It may also be that Spotify has been muted in the Mixer. Click the speaker icon in the notifications section then select Mixer and then check Spotifys volume there.
Hey,
I have a problem with this prgram.
The first 20 minutes it only blocked advertising, but after that it also blocked my music.
I tried to delete EZ manually and reinstall spotify and resart PC, but none of it worked.
Someone can help me?
I am not able to get EZ Blocker to block adds automatically or by manually blocking them. Will there be an update to correct this?
Thanks
This is all your program does http://i.imgur.com/XnAvrIL.jpg

Hi There!
First of all thanks for this simply but very handy tool! Makes Spotify Free much more enjoyable. I´ve used your tool for a couple of days but lately it has stopped working without any obvious reason. It simply doesn´t start anymore. Any idea what could cause this problem?
Thanks for the support! Best regards!
