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.

Would it be possible to add support for muting spotify when it’s playing through other devices? Right now it mutes only the core system sounds, would be pretty cool if it also muted it when you have spotify playing through other devices such as a virtual audio cable.
My EZBlocker stopped working today. Windows 7 and up to date spotify. EZB just won’t open….
EZBlocker just stopped working for me, but I figured out the solution. I have AVG anti-virus (free edition) that was somehow preventing EZBlocker from running (it would act like it was loading, but not actually appear). I temporarily suspended AVG (right-click system tray icon) and EZBlocker loaded fine, then re-activated AVG. Just posting this in case someone else encounters this problem!
Great software, could you make it dissapear from alt+tab opened windows once minimized in system tray though?
I know more C++ than C# so I can’t contribute, but instead of muting the ads, one way to “Block” them would be to manually play the next song seconds before the current one ends. I’m not sure if this is possible with C#, but good luck.
I’ve tested this. Ads will still show up.
Hey are you sure? I do this all the time and it works by playing the next song before the one you listen to ends
Many thanks man 😉
I cant make it work… i tried disabling my antivirus but nothing happens. the problem is it says connection problem so it doent mute ads any more. is there a way to make it work again?
Thank You for hard work Eric. I see you are in Georgia Tech; I am currently taking advanced courses to get into the college. I hope you succeed in getting a degree in computer science.
