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.
I had no problems with ezblocker until I had to change my windows user and re install everything and now it mutes Spotify every time a podcast plays… I know I can change the volume manually but keeping in mind I listen to podcasts to keep me focused while working, having to constantly change the volume manually kind of defeats the purpose :/

Hi, I’m from Vietnam and currently using Vietnam Spotify. The problem I want to report is that when Spotify shows 2 ads consecutively, EZBlocker can successfully block only 1. Sometimes it is the first ad, sometimes it is the second ad.

Whenever i open up spotify, it is always muted and I have to open up the volume control
Had to reinstall spotify + disable hardware acceleration to end the black screen problem. Now EZBlocker won’t show up on spotify, permanently says “loading” on your app status line thingy.

Hey Eric,
Sometimes EZBlocker randomly mutes Spotify when a new song starts. I think it always happens when I manually search and play a song. Pausing and playing the song seems to solve this problem. Also unmute after an ad is delayed by 2-4 seconds.

Having a grey screen after logging in too, reinstalled Spotify and it didn’t help, using EZBlocker v1.7.3.
Triple dot menu in the top left still shows but the only options that work are Log Out and Exit. When logged out, the login screen appears normally even with EZBlocker running.
Hi, I tried to re-install Spotify and then to relaunch EZBlocker, but as soon as EZBlocker runs, Spotify stop to work, as reported before.
