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.

Does Eric or someone even read this?
Yes 😛
Yes, he does. You can even see by finding his responses in later comments, I think he last commented just last month. Though It isn’t like he can respond to every single comment, as there are many. He tries his best.
Can you make a Linux version?
The option ‘Start EZBlocker on Login’ is useless. Because I have to start Spotify before starting EZBlocker. When I’m starting EZBlocker first, it gives me the error ‘Error hooking Spotify.’.
But all in all, I’m happy with this application. I never got any advertisement since I used this.
no work withe the ultimate version :c
Hey mate, first of all, this is an awesome little program and integral to my music life. I created a bin and changed the Spoitfy shortcut to that so that it never opens without EZBlocker.
Latest version doesn’t seem to be working. It closed or never started, and when I force started it, it misread Spotify a lot. Most of the time it says Spotify is paused (when it’s not) and then it just lets ads go straight through. Sometimes it does work though, so not sure what the issue is. Maybe the type of ads?

1.6.7.0 works great, but every time I put my laptop to sleep, Spotify and EZBlocker crashes. I am on Win 8.1.
Hello and thanks a lot for Ezblocker.
The program works very fine except for 1 thing…
Ezblocker closes itself when I press the X button in spotify. Notice that when i press X is to hide spotify to system tray and not in order to close it!
