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.
hi! would you consider making something similar for Linux? every solution I’ve found so far only mutes the ads instead of skipping them.
This does the same… This mutes and not skips. My suggestion is to play a local file while you wait for the adds to finish.
doesn’t work deleted my host file aswell please fix foreal
I am no longer able to play any of my local files through spotify. Before installing EZBlocker I was able to. Is there any way to stop this from happening?
Can you make it for app store – android store
Hi Eric and thanks a lot for this tool.
Somehow, I’m just noticing that when “Disable all ads” is enabled, I’m losing windows Aero shortcuts (Buttons previous, play/pause and next when mouse is hover Sptoify taskbar icon). Are you aware of this ?
Magnifico, as always friend that God in his infinite wisdom reward you for this tremendous contribution to the Internet community; in a world in which the voracity of the capitalist system and devastates everything it is killing part of humanity. Thank you thank you thank you…
I am having issues. None of the ads are being muted or blocked. EZBlocker simply says “Loading…” in the bottom left corner, but it never goes away. Error log has the following: The server committed a protocol violation. Section=ResponseStatusLineThe server committed a protocol violation. Section=ResponseStatusLineThe server committed a protocol violation. Section=ResponseStatusLine (goes on endlessly)
Same issue here
Tracked it down to the virus scanner. I use AVG and when I disable the Link Scanner of their Web Protection module, EZBlocker works just fine.
Latest version (1.6.8.0) should fix the auto-closing. Also should fix the first ~1 second of an ad not being muted.
You are the man, bro! The updates are awesome! Working perfectly and at start on Win10. Thanks a lot.
And congratulations for your principles re to your answer on ‘How do I donate’!
