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.

Banners still showing sometimes and sometimes it pauses Spotify and plays ad but just silences the ad until it goes away other than that it is great. I have tried modifying hosts file but this just crashes spotify
Hey! Thank you very much for the adblocker. I have a request for you: please add the ability to specify the path to the Spotify program yourself to use the blocker with the portable version of the program, since he does not see the portable version even if it is located in the same folder. Thank you in advance.

Works generally great, thank you so much, a life-changer.
However, there is still one really annoying category of ads, with video, that still go through (on my system and in the country I am in, it is an ad for Samsung Galaxy earphones). It’s the only one that goes through for now.

Ezblocker doesn’t start on login despite checking the box and putting it in Startup folder. Spotify starts muted and I have to manually unmute it.
