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.
Does not work in my user case; either “Spotify is paused”, when starting EZ with spotify both or “Loading…” when restarting EZBlocker while Spotify still is running.
I’m using voicemeteer to handle different audio output scenarios, so I guess EZ is not supposed to work with other than the “physical” audio outputs? Using onboard soundchip, dedicated sound card and multiple virtual devices.
EZBlocker Version: 1.7.6.0
Spotify Version: 1.1.31.703
In any case thanks for providing many ad-free hours!
When I start EZblocker it mutes spotify instantly, before an ad starts.
Also doesn’t mute all ads, it’ll mute the first 2 sets and then essentially stop working.
the 1.7.6 (April 22, 2020) release works much better, not perfect, but close. Good!
EZBlocker Version: 1.7.6.0
Spotify Version: 1.1.31.703
Updated to latest version and am still encountering the “Spotify not found” error. EZBlocker works to mute ads when it’s running but it won’t open Spotify when I open EZBlocker, even though that setting is selected. Unsure what to do!
Thanks for any help you can offer, and thanks for making EZBlocker =]
No longer muting ads, running both apps as admin. Thanks for all your work!
Works nice! thanks!
I hate having to Unmute my Spotify, when will this get fixed?
It has a tendency to mute imported music and anything considered as local files which is a bit annoying.
