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.
You’re great, I would give a donation but too poor, haha. THANKS!
Hi, the link is broken. Could you upload it again?

Hi Eric,
Thanks for the great app. Just wondering if you planned to put the ability to add ads back into the blocklist. It seems like more ads are getting through the filters since the latest update to Spotify and EZBlocker.
It works perfectly. Thanks
It would be a great point to start at login Windows or at runing Spotify.
I know that it’s a bit diffcult to make an iOS app, but it would be really nice!
Hello,
It seems not working in the new version of spotify (1.0.1.1060.gc75ebdfd).
I see “Connection error” in the bottom left of the EZBlocker window.
What could cause this error ? Is-it newest version of spotify or could it be because IT blocks EZBlocker with the firewall ?
Thanks,
Christophe
I have the same problem, and I was thinking about the Spotify’s last update, maybe this is the problem :/. If somebody knows how to fix the “Conection Error” problem tell us please 😀
P.D.:I am runing the EZBlocker in administrator mode by the way, so this is not the solution 😛
Hey, It seems like it was nothing, if you wait a little, the connection will automatically get fix! ^^
Same version and same problem. This started yesterday. 🙁
You created a great application but it doesn’t work in “private session” for now. If you can fix that, it would be awesome! 🙂
Thanks Erik, you are a scientist!
Love this utility, but today’s update to 1.0.1.1060.gc75ebdfd by Spotify seems to have killed it…time for an update?
