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.

HI Eric, thank you so much for the amazing app, i’d love to give you a donation at some point!
However, the app seems to keep muting songs whenever I change artists :/ I have both latest version of Ezblocker and spotify,
Thanks again 🙂
Reinstalling and starting Ezblocker cause same problem again to me. Grey screen.
EZBlocker Versión: 1.7.2.5
Spotify Versión: 1.0.94.262
No, it doesn’t work with spotify re-installed. I can play music with the media keys on the keyboard, just the interface is affected.
Reinstalling Spotify has fixed black gray screen issue upon loading.
EZBlocker Version: 1.7.3.0
Spotify Version: 1.0.94.262
However older version which uses the hook doesn’t work. Spotify loads if you unhook. I’ve been using this version since the newer one crashes occasionally when I pause playback.
EZBlocker Version: 1.7.2.5
Spotify Version: 1.0.94.262
Everything except the blocking or muting works. It just says “Spotify is paused” while I’m playing music. Clicking play/pause doesn’t do anything. Playing different songs doesn’t do anything.
Windows 8.1
EZBlocker Version: 1.7.3.0
Spotify Version: 1.0.55.487
Nevermind. After posting, I noticed that I haven’t updated my version of Spotify. Updating fixed the issue. Sorry. 🙂
