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 for this, I’ve been using it for the past few months and it’s great!
I’ve had a bug that I’ve kind of ignored but was wondering if you might have the time to look into?
On my Surface Pro 3, very frequently the entire taskbar freezes when I use EZblocker. The volume rocker won’t respond either. I just have to wait it out and then all of a sudden Windows will register all my clicks, the volume changes and everything goes back to normal. Any ideas?
Happy to provide additional information if needed.
it is not working anymore on the new Spotify version 1.0.55.487.g256699aa
I’ve that version and it works ok, no problem
Same for me. Stopped working with that version. 🙁 I keep getting a “not responding” state with an error on the log that says “The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send.”

Hi, I get some antivirus warnings to “nircmd”. It gets deleted automatically, but ezblocker still works fine. Is there a way to disable the creation of “nircmd”?
Ty hunny! It works flawlessly! Love it! Been using it for several monhts, cannot even imagine how it was before!!!
Will this ever be available for non-windows operating systems such as linux or mac?
you could use wine to port it to linux
lets say I used Disable all ads can I re enable them after?
Sweet! Windows side notifications can be annoying tho.
