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.

Occationally I can hear ads
I spotted a funny bug. If you hover your mouse on the pause button and the little text box with “pause” pops up you can hear the add.
Great add blocker, keep up the work, thanks
Hello Eric!
I got a Windows 10 update today and suddenly your program isn’t working anymore.
Can you fix it please?

I hear the ads / see black banners half loaded
I’m not using the store version of Spotify, as evidenced by my ability to use Spicetify.
Thank you, I hope you work on this project more.

Ads still playing

Love the program. Lately it says “Spotify is paused” when it is running and when it says that it doesn’t block the ads (restarted both programs).
Thank you for your work. Whether you work anymore on it or not, no worries. Any time without ads was nice enough. Thanks again.
