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.
Unfortunately I am also getting the same issue as everyone else. Hopefully it can be fixed soon. EZBlocker, when functioning, is one of the best tools I have had the pleasure of using.

Can’t listen to podcasts when eZBlock is active
Hi, since some weeks, it doesn’t recognize ads as ads but as music :/. And another problem: Spotify is often muted by EZBlocker, and I need to unmute it manually. Some weeks ago everything was fine and then spotify was updated.
I have the same problem others are experiencing – black window with just three dots on the left top corner. After reinstallation of Spotify it works correctly, but if I try to then activate EZBlocker it immediately goes blank with the three dots on the top left corner and EZBlocker says that Spotify is paused. Please advise how to correct this. Thank you.

no sound from Spotify – have to open the Windows Volume Mixer to manually un-mute Spotify.
I think this happens if i exit spotify during an ad that is muted, and launch EZblocker or spotify later and its still blocked? not sure.
