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.

It blocks my local music files from the artists that has no songs on Spotify.
Is there any way to prevent it?

Spotify did a stealth upgrade and the blocker stopped working so I upgraded to the new version but it only works occaisionally and there is no way you can add the current ad when it misses.
Does anyone know a blocker that does work with the new version of spotify?

I should add an observation about the blocker failure – when you pause spotify (to answer the phone for example) the blocker changes status to acknowledge this but when you restart spotify it stays inactive. When I quit and restart the blocker it sees spotify is active and blocks ads again.
It seems the blocker is not receiving or reading the spotify restart. If the spotify status change back to play cant be sniffed maybe just a button allowing the user to reactivate the blocker manually could be an alternative?

You sir, win the Internet. Hands down the best free application I have ever tried. Thanks you for developing this and keeping it up to date. Honestly I wish you had a donate button. I know me and many others would donate.

The combination of making this little tool work like a charm – while also blocking the banner ads is pure genius. But not accepting donations is the most amazing thing I have ever heard. You Sir shall get all your heart ever desires!

I am finding the latest version of EZBlocker is not blocking many of the new audio ads on the new Spotify update – most annoying not the really loud ones!
