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.

Here’s a problem I’ve been having: if I mute my computer or just spotify, spotify pauses the ad. Is there a way to either make it not do that, or make the blocker press “play” when it mutes?
is there a mac version?
Worked well until last Spotify a week ago. Now every song is muted.
For me this was caused by exiting Spotify while it was being muted by EZBlocker. Check the OS system sound settings – I found that it was still in mute state for the Spotify application.
Hi,
I have a problem : “unhandled exception has occured in your application!”; with this details. May be with installation on windows XP? Have you a tutorial for installation EZBlocker with XP?
Thanks. Bests regards.
Hello my friend. I thought I finally found the perfect Spotify ad blocker, and I was so happy until I figured out something that completely ruins my whole experience. “Sigur Ros” is the most important band in my life, and I have over 30 songs of them that I starred as favorite, as well as I always want to listen to their albums. EZBlocker hate this band so much. It adds them to the block list no matter what song is played for them. Even if I remove Sigur Ros from the block list; it get back to the list… Read more »
The program seems to have been outdated a bit as spotify ad’s are passing through and I can’t block them.
I was looking for something like this after Blockify stopped working. Thanks for this app, it’s even better than Blockify!
