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.

Hi, EZ Blocker is not blocking ads
EZBlocker Version: 1.7.2.5
Spotify Version: 1.0.88.353
On my other PC it just didnt show any ads, but on my new PC, it mutes them, normally it just doesnt show ads at all and just carries on playing the song without muting the ads.
This new version – long-awaited – is excellent and saves so much annoyance, memory and processer power. Thank you so much. How do I donate?
Is it me or with the last Spotify Update this app doesn’t work anymore ?
Does it work with the app from Microsoft
EZBlocker Version: 1.7.2.5
Spotify Version: 1.0.88.353
Doesn’t seem to work
I cannot see friends feed and recently listen
Look up how to edit your HOSTS file. When you find it, open it up with a text editor and remove any lines that have “Spotify” in them. Old version of EZBlocker used to handle the ad problem this way.
thanx a lot! i’ve fix it!
Open notepad as administrator, then go to open, and turn on all files in the downright bottom. go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc and open the file called Hosts. either delete everything containing spotify or place an # infront of them (i recommend the latter)
Thank you very much!! I didn’t know how to fix this issue, you saved my life!!

I get that there can’t be constant updates but it seems like the ad “blocking” idea has long been abandoned.
Worked the first time I installed it but now no combination of commands or start up settings will get it to mute just ads and not all the songs too. I can unmute through EZBlocker but then all the ads come through as well and I need to manually mute them.
Useless atm.
Hmm I’m constantly getting the message EZ couldn’t patch Spotify, which is actually more annoying than the occasional ad. :S
Anyone else with a similar problem?
New version working great for me!
I have the same version of both EZBlocker and spotify and for me it works with no problem. I’m sure your problem is with something else, as my ads gets blocked with the default setting.
