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.

Hello,
Thanks you for this wonderful piece of code ! It works great !
I don’t mind adds, since is the free version, but damn ! French adds are so annoying, even 3 years old children’s make better adds. Every time I hear one I pull my hair ! Thank you again for saving my hair ! I own you a coffee !
works great thanks a lot !
Single instance running and option with closing spotify with closing EZBlocker would be nice.
Great software btw 😉
Really like the idea behind EZBLocker, however, when an ad plays it mutes AND pauses Spotify. So I have to hit play and then sometimes keeps the music muted when the ad is over. Is there something I need to do to avoid this? Previous version didn’t do this.
Spotify seems to have added a feature that detects when you’ve muted an ad and waits until you actually bring the application to the foreground (presumably to make you see the ad picture) then starts a 30-second countdown before it will play the next song (notice the little pie-clock in the bottom right corner). I’m assuming they are detecting the change in your volume settings, though that’s just a guess. Any ideas? Possible work-around in that case would be to have an option to mute system volume instead of application volume? I know that’s a step backwards but I can’t… Read more »
It keeps tell me to update to a new version one first run, when there isn’t one
