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.

Keep getting this error everytime I open EZBlocker. http://prntscr.com/kszo32 PLEASE FIX!!!!
upgraded to premium the app wont stop blocking ads for me. friends list doesnt show and is also blocking music videos
You have to clean “hosts”-file in this directory:
%windir%\system32\drivers\etc
Goto the tray icon of ezblocker and right click and the click on remove from spotify
Hi, it seems that EZblocker works fine but also blocks “friends”, “radios” and “recently listen” features
I have
EZBlocker Version: 1.7.2.5
Spotify Version: 1.0.89.313
Thx for this soft, it helps a lot !
Same here, guess there’s some change in servers which cannot be blocked through hosts-file.
Another user recently came with the solution here:
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 # in front of them (I recommend the latter)
For me takes a time to load. Try click in “recently listen” then wait one minute.
I have same problem. Upgraded to Premium deleted the Blocker and not able to see “friends”, “radios” and “recently listen” parts of the app
remove “spclient.spotify.com” from your hosts file c/windows/system32/drivers/etc, it will enable some ads back however
I was able to restore these functions by removing the entry “0.0.0.0 spclient.wg.spotify.com” from my hosts file. But now ads won’t be completely blocked, only muted.
