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.
EZBlocker is not blocking all ads, only some of them. Also when i start my pc spotify is mutted by default even though EZBlocker is running and it shows a song is playing. When this happens i have to manually unmute spotify from windows sound volume mixer

Is there a way to whitelist certain songs? I have one that’s name is mostly in Japanese and it seems to think its an ad, i dont want to have to go into the app and turn it on manually every time the song comes up. I suppose ill see if its the title, and ill remove the Japanese text. (its a local file so i can change the title)
is this real?
Love it! The only thing that annoys me a little is that it always mutes spotify when I start it.
The “Starting spotify with ezblocker” option also doesn’t work for me, so I had to set it to start with my system instead.
EZ Blocker seems to block some or all songs on Spotify. I tried to delete the EZ Blocker file to go back to the previous state but Spotify songs are still not playing. I tried the ways described online to remove Ezblocker (removing some lines in the Host File) but it did not work.

EZBlock is muting all podcasts, consistently over computer reboots, application restarts, different settings. EZBlock is running in administrator, and blocking banner ads. Other than this issue, it’s functioning as intended.
Bless you for your good work!
