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.

it doesnt seem to be working anymore
please tell me how to uninstall it its broken spotify so bad that I can’t fix it after unintalling spotify and reinstalling spotify
i find that if ive routed my spotify audio via windows EZBlocker doesnt detect that spotify is playing and therefore doesnt work, if fixes if i switch it back and forth manually but its a little tedious, more just letting you know, not complaining, other than that ive had no issues in the years ive used it, thanks
Good job on writing the app, it’s extremely useful and works well.
The only flaws are: sometimes i have to unmute spotify in volume mixer after a restart and after a fresh windows install it doesn’t remove the banner placeholders anymore despite being run with admin privileges and having the box checked.
Regards
Recent Spotify update causes EZ to mute all songs when the ‘block banner ads’ option is selected, i litteraly can’t see my songs in my playlists. — 21/02/19

EZBlocker works great, the only problem I have is that it misinterprets local files played through Spotify, so any song I’m playing from my hard drive is muted.
Sometimes the ads don’t get muted, especially when they’re Spotify’s own ads.
Commercial breaks are succesfully muted but after commercials there is a 3-4 minutes break of silence in which Spotify is not doing absolutely anything and EZBlocker says “muting advertisement”
