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.

EZBlocker 1.8.1 Spotify for Windows 1.1.77.643.g3c4c6fc6 Windows 11 Home 21H2 22000.434 EZBlocker does not mute Spotify when Spotify is using a different audio output than the current system default set in Settings > System > Sound. More precisely, my system shows the Spotify application as successfully muted when looking at Settings > System > Sound > Volume Mixer, or EZBlocker > Open Volume Control, but I continue to hear ads through the secondary audio output I have Spotify set to use. EZBlocker works correctly when I have Spotify set to the same audio output as my system default setting, or… Read more »

After upgrading to Windows 11, I get the message: Spotify not found. Since then, unfortunately, it is no longer usable.

For now you are comparing the SourceAppUserModelId in MediaHook.cs with “Spotify.exe” you must also add the String “SpotifyAB.SpotifyMusic_zpdnekdrzrea0!Spotify” to support also the Win11 Spotify-Store App
