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.

Hi. Looks like EZBlocker isn’t blocking spotify ads anymore..
Looking forward to a new update!
Thanks for developing this awesome piece of software!
Very strange – just downloaded it, thought it was working. It was running, but then ads started to play and so I went to check the settings only to find that the program was gone. The only trace of it was a log file with nothing but “- – – – -” in the file? So confused haha.
Really have been enjoying the peace and quiet that EZ Blocker allows, instead of those annoying ads that are like 40% louder than the music on Spotify, and repeat over and over and over. Except just this morning Spotify automatically updated and EZ Blocker stopped working…
My company virus software got a hit on nircmd.exe, which is old school utility for executing enhanced system commands without displaying a window.
According to the source code for this version of EZBlocker, it is only used for muting the system volume in the case you do not have the “Mute Only Spotify” option selected. Since I do and it works fine, I allowed my antivirus to delete nircmd.exe. Everything still works great.
Thanks! 🙂

Hello!
Thank you for the awesome app!
I have one feature request. Is it possible to include an ad counter in the program’s interface just to show now many ads have been blocked so far?
Keep up the awesome work!
