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.

Very often Spotify is muted by Ezblocker. I can’t make it run unless I restart my computer several times.

don’t block one ad

The ads for Spotify Premium get blocked like they should, but the other ads for other products (example: Gillette Razors, etc) don’t get blocked. They usually appear first, dosn’t get blocked, but the ads that play after do get blocked. Anyone know how to fix this?

Music from local files is mistaken as ads and therefore muted

I have my spotify routed to another audio device using Windows’ settings and EZBlocker only shows “Spotify is paused” in the bottom. It won’t detect the song playing, but when I route back my Spotify to my main audio device, it works just fine.
Maybe you could implement something like button that just plays a sound, so that EZBlocker also shows up in the sound manager.
it doesn’t work on video ads
Working perfectly for me
