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.

Gracias!!!
WoW – I have been looking for the answer for so long!
After Groove Shark went down, I have spent hours and hours looking for a solution!
THIS IS MY SOLUTION
THANK YOU
Weird, don’t know why people are having problems. I can confirm I’m running the latest version of Spotify 1.0.5.186 and it still works beautifully, I’ve been running it all morning to see if it still works with the latest update. I still don’t ever need to reopen EZBlocker either, the first time I installed it and opened it was enough. After that I just closed it, Spotify still works the same since. Even when I restart my computer, I never need to reopen EZBlocker to disable the ads. I love how it works that way. I have not experienced any… Read more »

Well fucking said

The mirror is working for me, unless it was just updated again since it wasn’t working yesterday.
Eric,
I also had a problem with EZB crashing as soon as it automatically ran Spotify (1.0.4.9). I found that signing out of Windows (8.1) and running EZB again would work, but if I then closed Spotify and EZB and ran EZB again the problem would repeat. I also found that closing Spotify would make EZB unresponsive. However, after repeating these steps several times, these problem no longer appear. The only lingering problem appears to be that upon closing Spotify, the EBZ UI becomes very slow.
What version of windows are you guys running? Been working fine for months even with using the latest updates, still works fine now. I’ve been testing it all day with the latest update, still works on my end. Maybe leaving EZBlocker open causes the problems? For me, once I first used EZBlocker, I closed the application and it still worked. I open Spotify normally and the ads are still blocked, so I assume EZBlocker runs in the background or something, it doesn’t necessarily need to stay open on your desktop. At least that is how it works for me. What’s… Read more »
This happens to me as well, only on one of my PC’s , Running latest version of spotify, and latest blocker. This is a win 7 64bit machine. EZblocker just sort of hangs, it opens spotify but ads aren’t blocked, and then if I close spotify EZblocker is unresponsive. (These same files work just fine for me on a different machine with the same OS & as well on a laptop I have with windows 8) I have tried removing and reinstalling a few times, nothing seems to help.
Shouldn’t launch spotify application.
Spawns message dialogs “allow spotify to be started from the web” in loop.
Perhaps consider porting it to a scripting language like python.
Thank you!
Thx so much for this nice plugin! Works really great!
Updated to 1.5.1.4 and now have a problem where EZBlocker doesn’t detect that Spotify is running. (http://i.imgur.com/dCAkkJn.png)
