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.

Reinstalled spotify and ezblocker. Ad’s now play but are muted and banner ad’s appear.
EZBlocker Version: 1.7.3.0
Spotify Version: 1.0.96.181
EZBlocker Version: 1.7.3.0 Spotify Version: 1.0.96.181 I turned on the blocker while Spotify was playing an ad. The ad was playing Silent Night and then a second later, someone in the ad started talking. The ad was not registered and thus was not muted. In the EZ Blocker window, it said “Playing: Silent N…” Just thought I’d put this here. I don’t know if this “issue” can be fixed, but I thought I’d mention it just in case. If no one complains about a specific issue, it will never get solved… I love this tool, so to whoever reads this:… Read more »

Installed again Spotify and worked perfectly well. When I open EZBlocker Spotify window turns to black with just three dots on the left top corner.
EZBlocker Version: 1.7.2.5
Spotify Version: 1.0.77.338
Ok, I guess I succeeded in preventing automatic updates. I changed the Updates to read only.
I managed to overcome the black window problem by downloading an old version of Spotify. The version is 1.0.92.something. I replaced Spotify_new.exe, SpotifyMigrator.exe and SpotifyStartupTask.exe with empty text files.
No help. I can’t find no way of preventing Spotify from updating itself.
