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.

Dosent work anymore q.q
It was working fine the first day, now the music is muted, everything. I tried restarting both EZBlocker and Spotify and no luck so far.
EZBlocker Version: 1.7.3.0
Spotify Version: 1.0.96.181
Edit: Ah I got it working again, turns out I wasn’t really resetting EZBlocker, my bad. Thanks anyway.
Thank you Mr. Zhang for enhancing the quality of our lives!
I can´t open it, no matter whether I try to open it regularly or run as administrator, any ideas on what I could do about it? (I already deleted and reintalled it a couple of times)
I’m having the same issue – I think Spotify is blacklisting people using this ad block tool.
i have the same issue with ezblocker
Which OS do you have?
Are you on Windows 8/10? If you’re using 7 you need to download .NET framework 4.5 or newer.
If that’s not the problem, my next guess would be that your anti-virus is blocking it? You could try excluding it, or if you can’t figure that out, just disable your anti-virus and try it again.
Also, make sure Spotify is open when you open it. I’m not 100% certain that this matters, but this is how I always launch it and I’ve never had issue.
Finally got EZplayer to hook to Spotify. Not sure if it mutes the ads as I haven’t listened to more than a song, but I want to say ty Eric. I have been using your Blocker for a long time now, and I love it. Now if Spotify could keep their service running it would be great. I have only had a problem with your blocker once or twice, but Spotify (smh) I am constantly having issues with It takes them. It takes them many months to fix an issue but it always, and I do mean always causes another… Read more »
What is EZplayer?
No longer working. I have tried the new version, old version, and it always says “Error Hooking Spotify. Please restart EZBlocker after restarting Spotify.”
