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.

Great stuff, thanks. It would be nice if there were a keyboard shortcut for “Add Current to Blocklist” — I can make an AHK macro for it, though, so no big deal.
Works great, unlike several alternatives! Thanks for creating this.
Thanks a lot for this great app!
I have a slight bug, when playing Dethklok, it adds them to the blocklist, I think its the name, since spotify names it Metalocalypse: Dethklok, maybe add a whitelist function?
What you made is just awesome, thanks a lot for your work! By chance, did you create a software that also removes ads on the software itself, the “image” ads, not audio ones? I was thinking of doing a bit as I did to remove Skype ads, but I can’t find the right URL () ; here is how I managed to remove Skype’s ads: http://www.sebastienfuchs.net/index.php/astuces/83-windows/123-supprimer-la-pub-skype (I found EZBlocker on this website, so I guess it’s fine posting it here). I tried https://apps.spotify.com and it seems to block a few ads, but not always, and not all of them (maybe… Read more »
Hi!
There’s an issue when Spotify works on non-default audio output device.
I have speakers and the additional sound device with headphones.
Output device with headphones is set as system default.
I’ve install plugin Equalify for Spotify and set alternative output device in it.
And EzBlocker doesn’t work. It doesn’t work even with “Mute only spotify” unchecked.
Everything going well when I set Spotify sound device as system default.
May you check this out? 🙂
Thanks for this great app! When a new artist or a pop up is played, a small bubble pop up saying that XXX is not on the block list. Can you perhaps put in a function where everytime a new song is played out, information about the artist and the song is shown? This way it’s much more convenient to explore new music with your app!
Thank you for this Spotify addblocker! My previous one (Blockify) stopped working after an update of Spotify, so I had to find a new one. This one seems to work perfectly! 🙂
