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.

I’m probably using this app since it was released (including beta versions of Spotify of course). Only now I thought I owe to you a million thank yous. 😉
Fast updates, easy on resources, simple, minimalistic, just the best there is. The only thing with the most recent update is that the new feature “block banner ads” doesn’t seems to work, which doesn’t really bother me since I usually have my Spotify player minimilized.
Keep up the good work, dude.
This works really well. I enjoy the new smaller interface. I have always loved your app. Keep on keepin’ on.
Plans for a Linux version? 😀
First of all, it works absolutely briliant: thanks for your efforts!
The program won’t block without admin rights: ‘Connection error’
Is there a possibility to run the program without admin rights required? The previous versions could.
Can you please re-add the feature to “block current track” or whatever. since the new version it doesn’t always block adds.
^ THIS
The App doesn’t always work, and sometimes there will be 3 or 4 ads back to back now.
Please bring back the “block current track” option.
Awsome !!!!
Hey this program works great!!! I seem to get a bug though. My Windows 8 shows a pop-up telling me “EZBlocker has stopped working” and gives me the standard choices to close, debug, check online. If I close this window, EZBlocker stops. However, If I leave this window open, EZBlocker works perfectly. Its not too annoying to have a system message box open while playing spotify. I just wanted to tell you about this potential bug.
Thank you, you are my lifesaver!
This is awesome, thank you!
