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.

Very grateful for EZBlocker! I just updated to the April 18 2020 version, but have run into a little problem. I have it set to open Spotify when I open EZBlocker, but it can’t do it after the update. I get an error message in the bottom left corner saying “Spotify not found.”
Awesome! Sometimes there were some problems with the app, where it falsely muted a song or didn’t mute an ad. Also if i paused and played a song, the song stayed muted for a few seconds. All these problems seem to be resolved. Thank you so much!

Thanks! I noticed that even after installing the latest version, it still asks to download a new version
thanks, great work !
Awesome thanks
Some ads are managing to escape the blocker.
it’s muting everything.
Thanks for the hard work. The new 1.7.4 EZBlocker doesn’t seem t0 work on my Windows 8.1 computer. Songs are continuously muted. The new EZBlocker also doesn’t auto-launch Spotify (says “Spotify not found”), tho the option is chosen. Spotify must be launched manually. The old EZBlocker mostly works (mutes ads, but no longer removes them, auto-launches Spotify.) Thank you.
Oops.
thanks, you rock 🙂
