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.
The software here closes automatically after a while, any reason?
I just have to keep opening it every once in a while.
Thank you man for breaking Matrix 😉
Simple and works great, thanks man. Is there a chance you can add a hotkey for pausing? Blockify was ctrl+space and that feels really natural.
why does ezblocker constantly tries to connect to the internet?
Hey man, thanks so much for making the ad-blocker. I know that I could probably go and buy Spotify Premium easy, but having limited money right now is tough enough as is. Thanks for what you do!
Eric thanks for the awesome update! I’m running it with Spotify version: 1.0.27.75.gdc223232 on Windows 10 Pro 64bit No issues at all plus i can switch between my device eg. phone, tab to PC and NO ADS wicked!!! 😀
Still says Spotify is paused when it is not. It does update occasionally to be correct but quickly switches back to saying it’s paused. While it’s on this it doesn’t block ads. Half way through the first or second add sometimes it kicks in, but can also remain muted for the very beginning of the actual song.
Is there any plan or chance to export this app to MacOS/Linux? Or are there similar applications in other platforms? Thank you!
Couldn’t hurt to download the source code and remake it for systems like MacOS and Linux :^)
