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.
it works for me and plus you actuall dont even need to open EzBlocker to listen to music withiut ads. Just open it first time and make sure its on mute spotfy and the exoiermental are checked the close spotify then close ezblocker and reopen spotify.
Works perfectly on my laptop (blocks banners etc). But now I installed it on my desktop and always when I open the program it resets the tickbox “disable all ads (experimental)” and thus I see banner ads. Running as admin, both Spotify versions are “1.0.59.395.ge6ca9946”, win10

Hey, EZBlocker stopped working for me. It says: Microsoft .NET Framework: Access to the path ‘C:\WINDOWSSystem32driversétc’hosts’ is denied. Tried reinstalling .NET and tried to update EZBlock but nothing worked for me.
outdated
Hello! Upon latest Spotify update today (7.22.17), EZBlocker is unstable. Has weird problem, with Spotify randomly being muted in the middle of a song, and EZBlocker sometimes crashing at this point. Finally found out that, if EZBlocker hasn’t apparently crashed, even though the Spotify player shows as unmuted, and at full volume, that muting and unmuting the Spotify player, restores proper audio. Running Windows 8.1. Thanks much for all your hard work.
Thank you for also supporting the Windows Store App version!
Great tool, works great !
Thanks allot !
We only need a Mac version.. 😉
Would be very appreciated by the Mac community.
