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.

Incase anyone else has this problem all I did was move the EZBlocker.exe to another folder and it recreated it’s files and it worked. I don’t know what was wrong with the previous directory but it recreating them in a new one fixed it.
Is there an option to play a music file from your machine while the ads are being blocked? This would eliminate the complete silence during ad play.
That’s very great!
But with the last version, when the commercials ends my music is still mute. I have to restart the software . Is there a solution?
Thank!
Windows Vista is not supported?
.NET FRAMEWROK says “unhandle exception has occurred….”.
Thanks!
no support for xp, you suck
needs an ignore list that you can add artists to so it doesn’t notify to block the thing you’re trying to listen to.
Hey can we please have an EZblocker start automatically with Windows option.
Put the app in your startup folder
