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.
How do I uninstall it entirely? I deleted the files and cleaned registry and ads are still blocked. The current version keeps the radio from being accessing the radio and friends.
hi could you tell me how to remove EZBlocker from my computer please?
EZBlocker Version: 1.7.2.5
Spotify Version: 1.0.89.313
Had spotify premium for a while, now i don’t anymore and wanted to use ezblocker again. Downloaded the latest version and now it’s constantly opening new error windows that say “Error patching spotify. EZBlocker may not work.”
not work :/
Has this project been abandoned? Should we move on? Silencing the ads works for me, but blocking them does not.
I fixed the not blocking ads problem. You simply need to use an older version, specifically version 1.6.8 from May 21. This works very well with the current Windows Store version of Spotify.
EZBlocker works really well but it does block the Friends list from appearing, for those who care.
EZ Blocker mutes the ad, but it is constantly stuttering through “pausing” and “playing the ads, doubling or tripling the time it takes to get through them.
