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.

i dragged it to a new folder and it says there is no application available to run it
absolutelly FABULOUSE!!!! TANK YOU!!!!
This seems to block the notifications for new album releases too. Any way to fix this?
I think Spotify created a work around for EZ Blocker so maybe another update is needed.
It was working for me before but when I was forced to restart my computer, all the ads and banners are back (Im using your latest version). So I:
1. Even installed the EZ blocker in Spotify’s installation folder (C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Spotify) but ads still come back after restarting Spotify
2. Deleted ad.spa in the App folder and restarted Spotify. Ads still return.
3. Created an exception with AVG so it doesnt delete EZ Blocker. Ads still return
Help removing these annoying ads would be appreciated.
Actually I figured out how to restore it from avg, but the audio is not muting on ads and the application is not detecting the song :/
At first, the application wasn’t working (problem #1) , but I think it’s because avg was messing with it 🙁
How do I make an exception in avg for EZBlocker because it’s automatically deleted by avg
Also:
The log file is just “Section=ResponseStatusLineThe server committed a protocol violation. Section=ResponseStatusLine” repeated…..
Thanks
Thank you! This is such a smart thing to do 🙂
It works great! To make it work I had to place EZ Blocker in the same folder as Spotify.
