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.

Thanks amigo!
It was working fine, however lately it says “loading” in the bottom right of the app (where the song name usually is) and spotify ads are not being skipped or muted…
Crashes on start-up. Windows 10. Here’s the log:

AWESOME job!!! Thank you so much for this tool, Eric! But unfortunately I always get the app “not responding”… It freezes constantly. I’m at Windows 7 with the latest version of Spotify. Best regards from Brazil!
#1… still hearing the last 3 seconds of AD (client is being ran from LAtin America). Secondly… why is your app downloading at 10KB/s at random moments.
Me too 2-3 seconds. I hope dev will add option to select how much extra seconds to mute to prevent listen ads.
and it still dosnt work :/ is there any log i can post ? cuz it crashes instantly :/
awesome blocker! greeting from israel
[…] I used Spotify a lot, not to the extent I would subscribe to a paid version. Well if you really need the offline music features by all means go ahead and buy it. If not you can try use this ad blocker, named EZBlocker. […]
