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.

always gets muted
Problem: Try starting EZBlocker while an ad is running (Windows 10). Expected: Block ads only, not music audio. Actual: On my machine, this caused the music audio to be blocked as well as the ads. I checked Volume Mixer and Spotify was marked as muted. Clicking to unmute works but plays the ads as normal! Had to restart EZBlocker, and for good measure Spotify, to have everything work as normal. Steps: 1. Start Spotify and play a song 2. Wait for an ad to run 3. Run EZBlocker 4. Before the ad terminates, look at your Volume Mixer (Windows 10)… Read more »
It mutes the ads, but the volume doesn’t go back when the ad finishes and the music begins again, so I have to unmute it back manually every single time
