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.

thank you for what you do
It works very well, but it also “blocks” my friends activity. Can I see what they’re listening while using ezblocker?
Thanks anyway!
The missing Friends Feed issue is not related to EZBlocker. It’s a known issue with a recent Spotify update, and it interferes with Friends Feed, Daily Mix, and Spotify Radio. Meanwhile, there’s a workaround for PC users: Go to Windows/System32/drivers/etc, where you’ll find a file called “hosts”. Make a copy of this file and put it elsewhere on your computer. Change the filetype of the original “hosts” file to .BAK. Use Notepad to open the copy of “hosts”. You’ll find a line reading “0.0.0.0 spclient.wg.spotify.com”. Delete ONLY this line, then save your text file and return it to the “etc”… Read more »
Not working anymore 🙁
I just reinstalled windows, and therefor got the newest version of ezblocker, sadly it doesn’t block ads all the time anymore. It plays the ad while muted.

Ain’t blocking anything except banners. Also, when I try to “Remove EZBlocker from Spotify” it says that it can’t. When Spotify starts up when my computer starts up it gives me an error message that Spotify couldn’t be patched with EZBlocker.
