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.

Recognizes when an ad is playing and is listed as “muted” or playing when it goes back to music. However through spotify connect to a speaker it doesn’t mute or unmute the program during this connection.

Hey there this app works perfectly, thank you for making it!
Is it possible to port/make this available as a browser extension to use along side the browser version of spotify?
doesn’t work :v
If this helps folks, when you run into EZBlocker not detecting Spotify, just close it out and spotify, and relauch/reopen EZBlocker which will in turn open spotify and you should be gtg. At least that works for me when that happens.
ty, a bit of a hassle, but works with your fix.

The EZBlocker app isnt detecting spotify even tho its open and playing music
Same problem
Same problem, same versions
Audio Muting problem is random on Windows 11.
Sometimes it’s muted, sometimes it’s not.
Would appreciate it if you could look into it.
Even checking Volume controls per the FAQ makes no difference.
Thanks 🙂

“Spotify not found”,
It used to work in the previous EZBlocker versions,
As a matter of fact it even used to work in this current version, until recently.
IMO, spotify updated something 🤔
