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.

EZBlocker broken in new update
I’m having issues since update.. Isn’t stopping ads anymore since been in-bedded in to spotify
reinstalled both and still getting the same issues. If not broken don’t try fixing it.
I think these spotify robbers have discovered this way to block their useless publicity, we need a new update because I will never pay the music, I prefer to pay this guy who managed to invent this way to not hear the ads that the greedy creators of spotify.
Everything working fine for me.
EZBlocker: 1.7.24
Spotify version: 1.0.86.337.ga8d5cef9
Spotify loads and stays black.
EZBlocker Version: 1.7.3.0
Spotify Version: 1.0.94.262.g3d5c231c
As previously stated, Spotify v1.0.94.262 doesn’t fully load (the window remains grey) when you launch it with the latest EZBlocker (v1.7.3).
After this happens, even if you launch Spotify without having EZBlocker active, it won’t load.
At the moment, the only solution is to reinstall Spotify and not to launch EZBlocker.
I wish Mr. Zhang to find a solution 🙂
Thanks!
Reinstalling Spotify has fixed the issue. Thanks!
EZBlocker Version: 1.7.3.0
Spotify Version: 1.0.94.262
