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.
If you run into any issues, comment below in detail the issue you're having.
For some reason, it blocks podcasts as well as ads.
I’ve found another issue, personally I use bluetooth headphones because they’re awfully conveinent. But to connect them, it changes the audio device yeah?
Well every time you change the audio device of your pc it mutes spotify even if there isn’t an ad present.
I’m on the latest versions:
EZBlocker: 1.7.6.0
Spotify: 1.1.43.700
Why not introduce a heartbeat to check if an ad is playing?
ezblocker tends to just stop working and I can start hearing ads again, then its starts to mute songs as well.

I still hear the ads from Spotify.
EZBlocker Version: 1.7.6.0
Spotify Version: 1.1.4.197
Sometimes block songs even without any ad.
Ads are almost always blocked. Banners are black but not showing any shitty ad. Wondering how EZBlocker works, does it still use the host DNS method ?
