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.

Doesn’t block banners even this function it’s activated. Mutes ads but not skips them as in previous versions. Maybe This version just mute but not skip anymore?

Remember:
“EZBlocker requires the desktop version of Spotify (uninstall Windows Store version), Windows 8/10 or Windows 7 with .NET Framework 4.5+”
I have the same versions (Spotify and EZBlocker) and works fine.
Try it to update your OS totally.
Just reporting it’s working fine for me. Yesterday I had
EZBlocker Version: 1.7.2.5
Spotify Version: 1.0.86.337
I upgraded Spotify today and now have
EZBlocker Version: 1.7.2.5
Spotify Version: 1.0.87.491
I’m running Windows 10 Pro (1803)
If you’re having trouble, maybe uninstall Spotify and re-install Spotify and EZBlocker?
Try restarting EZBlocker and Spotify after update.
Eric, It’s working fine for me. My comment was in response to an earlier comment by Seby, who reported trouble with the EZBlocker / Spotify / Windows combination that is working fine here. Sorry for the confusion.
It’s working good ! Thank you a lot !
🙂
Doesn’t mute adds anymore, says ‘Spotify is paused’ when it isn’t.
Not sure when this changed, as it worked perfectly before.
