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 doesn’t resume the previous volume after the ADs, the volume is often mute after the end of spots and sometimes the client remains completely stuck during the excetution of a song and I need to restart it.
Thanks for your job
I’m using ezblocker for month, also i’ve added these following lines in my host file
(C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts) :
0.0.0.0 radiumone.com
0.0.0.0 ad.atdmt.com
0.0.0.0 pubads.g.doubleclick.net
0.0.0.0 securepubads.g.doubleclick.net
0.0.0.0 http://www.googletagservices.com
0.0.0.0 gads.pubmatic.com
0.0.0.0 ads.pubmatic.com
0.0.0.0 spclient.wg.spotify.com
And i don’t get ads anymore =)
after doing this the friend activity stops working. in order to fix this, i tried deleting any lines with “spotify” in it but then the banner ads showed up again even though the friend activity worked again. On the other hand, audio and video ads stopped completely which is good. i would just like to let everyone know that. thanks btw.
0.0.0.0 spclient.wg.spotify.com
(if you use the friend activity bar, this will cause it to not load)
removing it will fix the friend activity bar but the empty space for the banner ads will reappear.
other than that, thank you very much.
very very nice tank you It helped me a lot

Since the latest update, I get an error message that element user.config has failed to load, and a pathway to the folder it’s supposed to be in (1.7.2.5), but when I check the element, it is there.
I click Continue but EZBlocker doesn’t function all the way, it stays on Loading… Like the other commenters said, adds are not skipped, either using the old version or the updated one.
after update: doesnt block, ever- does still mute
EZBlocker Version: 1.7.2.5

Give people the option not to minimize to the system tray. I can see why you’d think it’s convenient, but hiding it in the tray somewhere isn’t objectively better than having it sitting in the taskbar minimized like any other program. It’s a preference, and you should treat it like a preference.
It doesnt block ads at newest update
