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.

GJ dude! love your follow up speed!
Oh my word you are amazing
Thank you! Works great
“Error occurred trying to connect to ad-detection servers” help! I used to use Blockify 0.5 but its not working anymore. Tried this but with no luck.
I only get an “open volume Mixer” button on the program
Try the latest version that I just uploaded (v1.5.1.0). You can also try re-installing Spotify.
I have confirmed that the latest Spotify, version 1.0.1.XX, has workarounds for EZBlocker (and other ad blocking). I will work on an update later tonight and will hopefully have a fix up within 24 hours.
Edit: Version 1.5 is uploaded. It is only compatible with Spotify versions 1.0.1 and above. Download link in the original post.
Thanks!!!!
Thanks Eric, really appreciate your effort.
Hi there!
I have some kind of bug on Spotify ver. :0.9.15.27.g87efe634.
On 1.4 i get mute/unmute spotify while on hide(near the clock,tbh i dont know what’s that area’s name in english). Both ezblocker and spotify is on hide mode. While Spotify is on tray,everything okay.
1.4 doesn’t detect Spotify if Spotify is hidden in the tray.
It no longer works after the new Spotify update, please update EZblocker, thanks.
What version of Spotify are you running? (Help -> About Spotify)
Mine it’s: 1.0.1.1060.gc75ebdfd and doesn’t work.
I think thiis version has changed the way Spotify is loaded in the window, now it appears as “Spotify Free”.
Same here.
Version: 1.0.1.1060.gc75ebdfd
I knows it says it is not supported, please release a new one hahaha
Eric, great work over here. Excellent, really happy to find this out. Thank you very much!
is this no longer working for anyone else after the new spotify update?
Ya, EZBlocker is no longer for me either.
You have to restart EZBlocker after closing and re-opening Spotify.
Hi, it’s still not working for me, even after a restart. Do you have other solutions ? Thanks for your help 😉
I’ve found a way to fix my problem : you have to delete Spotify and reinstall it (http://www.spotify.com/download).
EZ Blocker works perfectly now, thank you so much Eric for this software!
That’s only because when you reinstall it, it install the old version. Once that is altered, the app will once again stop working
Me too 🙁
my spotify are permanently muted even though i unchecked the Mute Only Spotify option -_-
