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 so much! It mutes sometimes Spotify and I simply have to unmute it on Volume Mixer. You’re a genius!

net framework error
did you solved it? keep getting the same problem though 🙁
Not working ever since the last 2 Spotify updates. Good thing is that you can now skip ads but its still annoying.
Spotify shows the name of the ad in the window’s title. Maybe detect the window title and skip the ad by sending a next track keystroke to Spotify?
Ezblocker.exe Auto-shutdowns when launch & Spotify cannot play any song at all. They all skip to the next song.

Its active and display that Spotify is blocked but are not muting ads on Windows 10.

As of the July 26th update, pausing the music only makes it pause momentarily. About 15 seconds later, the music will unpause and resume playing. Also, it seems to be trying to mute the tracks you select manually as soon as you start playing them (only fix is to go into Volume Mixer and unmute them yourself).
Audio and video ads aren’t muted for me. Have all 3 boxes ticked.
