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.
How come some ads do load? It is handy that they are muted though, just curious as to what lets them slip through.
It works amazingly, thank you! Windows virus scanner said that there are no threats to anyone wondering about the security risks.
I recommend using VirusTotal to scan suspicious files, its a website that scans a file with multiple antiviruses

Hi, I have ezblocker running on my windows 11 with spotify playing yet ezblocker reports: Spotify not found.
Ezblocker does not work with the spotify that comes with windows 11 or if you get it from microsoft store. You have to download and install the app from the spotify website in order to work
Try using the spotify app downloaded from spotify website and not microsoft store

EZBlocker Version: 1.8.1.0
Spotify Version: 1.2.0.1165
already placed on desktop and run as admin, but wont work
it says spotify not found, EZBlocker Version: 1.8.1.0

EZBlocker must be placed on desktop and you are not allowed to rename it or the program won’t work. Also, I recommend you to run EZBlocker as an admin. Hope this helps.
