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.

Do you have to run the EZBlocker .exe file every time you open Spotify?
Hello,
When an ad comes on EZBlocker switches from saying “Playing….” to “muting ad”, but the ad plays nevertheless…why is that? I have installed the latest version of Spotify and EZblocker-
I restart my EZblocker and it works. Can also undo the Mute only spotify option

You’re the man, it works perfectly!
Thanks so much for updating EZ Blocker so quickly to the new Spotify release.
+1!!
Awesome software, thank you!
hello, I updated to the new Spotify and EZBlocker v1.4.0.1 doesn’t block it anymore. So I tried the new EZBlocker v1.5.1.3, but as soon as it starts, it doesn’t respond (but it successfully loads Spotify). It keeps saying “loading..” and it keeps so for some minutes. I can’t even click on “open volume mixer” or on the check buttons. This is the log file: System.Net.WebException: Timeout dell’operazione. in System.Net.WebClient.DownloadDataInternal(Uri address, WebRequest& request) in System.Net.WebClient.DownloadString(Uri address) in EZBlocker.WebHelperHook.GetPage(String URL) in EZBlocker.WebHelperHook.GetStatus() in EZBlocker.Main.MainTimer_Tick(Object sender, EventArgs e) Then when it loads, it says: “connection error”. And it’s really slow, if I press… Read more »
