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.

it’s muting songs
Have been waiting for a working release as it hasn’t been blocking ads for the last few months, even with the latest version. Would appreciate a working version as it was amazing while it worked.
Going to revert back to blocking ads with hosts file (although that blocks Discover Weekly, Friend Feed and sometimes the radio), until its fixed, if ever.

Issue #1: When I open Spotify, play the song and doesn’t sound. I go to the sound configuration of my PC and I discovered that Spotify is muted automatically.
Issue #2: Still getting the 30-seconds interrruption (muted).
I don’t know if downloading this version of EZBlocker with a previous version uninstalled provoked those issues.

Muting when no ad is playing. Muting is also too frequent. All the times the plugin has muted has been when there is no ad present.
UPDATE: It appears the plugin tends to mute spotify whenever the pause button is pressed on a consistent basis. When clicking play to start a track or continue a track, the plugin delays its “unmute” of spotify.
Please somebody help. How do you uninstall EZBlocker?
EZBlocker does not seem to see Spotify when Spotify is using a non-default output device set in Windows Sound Settings \ App volume and device preferences.
