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 is not working on windows 8
It doesn’t open, keeps showing “Ezblocker has stopped working”
I noticed it doesn’t work when Spotify is minimized to the tray. Any chance of getting an update for this?
Oops…just realized you mentioned this already “**Known issue: Spotify can’t be found if it’s hidden to tray.”
Ever consider blocking based on length of track? never seen an add go over 40 seconds, and I have no music in my playlist less than 40 seconds, or maybe allow users to dynamically set the length of track to block
Somehow your applciation mutes global instead of spotify only. How can I fix this?
It work perfectly and detect properly the Spotify ads
Thanks ! Great job !
Thank you for it, it’s great:)
Can you advice how to start it automatically with windows so that I don’t have to start it manually each time?
If you are using win7, you can just open: start menu -> all programs -> startup (folder) and just copy a link to ezblocker.
Just got it, works great so far 😀
great! +1
