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.
If you run into any issues, comment below in detail the issue you're having.
It keeps closing itself unexpectedly since I moved to Windows 10. Which is a pity because I don’t want to stop using this program, it is really the best there is. :/
Hi there. Can you put again the button to manually mute the ad ?
I’ve downloaded the latest version and is not working very well … đ
Just my two cents hacks for Windows user.
Simply just rename a file: ad.spa to anythingyoulike.spa OR just delete it!
Folder: C:\Users\XYZ\AppData\Roaming\Spotify\Apps
Notes:
â The âXYZâ folder is relative to your current Windows profile folder.
â The âAppDataâ folder may be hidden by default, so show it first through Windows Explorerâs âOrganizeâ -> âFolder and search optionsâ -> Select âViewâ Tab -> Select âShow hidden files, folders, dan drivesâ -> âOKâ button
It works. Tested on Spotify for Windows 1.0.29.92.g67727800. Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit. June 15, 2016.
Goodluck
Thanks man that appears to work! For some reason the newest version of EZBlocker for me just exits as soon as I launch it.
I thought I was the only one having the sudden exiting.
Thanks you , it worked awsome, back to peace I had ads , random blocking for month you fixed it đ
Really good job here !
I just installed the latest version from May 21st and it works really fine !
No errors or anything just started the executable in Administrator and the magic took place.
Thank you for your work đ
for almost a month, the system is not blocking ads
Don´t know why but last week EZBlocker starts to close unexpectedly.
does it have no virus?
it’s virus free. no virus.
It works wonders but the option to start it with spotify is kinda useless since I wont have spotify open all the time, and when I close spotify EZBLOCKER auto shuts down.
Can you stop this please?
