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.

Sometimes i still hear the ads and see the banners. Sometimes I have to go and unmute Spotify through the windows volume mixer
Audio and banners ads are not blocked…
⚠⚠ If the sound is MUTED when you start Spotify, start EZBlocker and then pause and unpause the song, it will automatically unmute Spotify. Easier than going into volume control.
Apart from that my only issues left is that EZBlocker does not start automatically despite it being on my desktop (I had issues starting it automatically from C: due to something in my computer idk). ~some (like one or two) ads still went through, but honestly not much of an issue.

EZBlocker blocks local files; I have a couple old/unreleased songs that aren’t on spotify that I added through the local file feature. When they come up on a playlist, EZBlocker blocks it. All the mp3 files are in my download folder.
