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.

“Spotify not found” and won’t let me uninstall.
If you have installed Spotify from the Windows store, you need to uninstall it as EZBlocker does not work with that.
You need to download Spotify directly from their downloads page so it is installed as a Windows program rather than a Windows app.
Once you have done that and restarted everything, it should be working again without any problems.

This is probably why it’s not working for me. But even if I uninstall Spotify and reinstall it via website, it’s still considered an “app” and I can’t seem to install it without it being an app.
I tried posting links but it’s awaiting approval. The only thing I can suggest is to ensure you’re selecting “Download” from the Spotify Download webpage and not the options underneath it like “Get it from Microsoft”, that should then let you download the “SpotifySetup.exe” file and get it going from there. Also, just make sure to run EZBlocker as admin first then open Spotify.
this comment definitely needs to be pinned to the top, probably 90% of all peoples issues come from this (including me), or at least update the FAQ.
I have recently downloaded this EZBlocker, and it is neither blocking nor muting ads on my spotify.
Works perfectly. Windows 11
Turns down the volume of voice ads and blocks the banner ads. nice!
Make sure to run as admin and restart after changing options. I set it to start with windows and never had a problem when opening spotify and playing.

Spotify not found, maybe for Windows 11 users, this happens, used to work on win 10 for me before. Great app btw, hope it gets fixed sooner.
blocker covers the first 10 seconds of a song, user needs to rewind it back to listen to the first 10 seconds.
Says spotify not found while spotify is open, straight garbage …
Working for me. Try opening as admin
Advertising does not block in time. The advertisement is unblocked only after 5-10 sec
