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.

I LOVE EZBLOCKER. Nevertheless, would you, by any chance, mind explaining why Virus Total comes up with so (so) many positives? I’m assuming, of course, that they’re all false; nevertheless, a word from you on this matter would certainly help make me feel a whole, whole lot better! 🙂 Thank you! (PS: I figure this isn’t the first time someone’s asked about this; please forgive me, if this is true, for bring up a potentially irritating subject.)
Correction: “bringing” (next to last sentence).
Btw: do you plan on answering my question…by any chance?
Please can you find a way to block the video ads too?
perfect!!! thanks.

Banner blocking works quite well in the new version, but not all the audio advertisements are blocked, and can no longer be added manually. The program spawns a dialogue ‘please enable starting Spotify from web in preferences’ which replicates itself infinitely, even though the facility in question is enabled. Running it as Administrator on Win 7 64 bit.
Make sure you don’t have anything (ie antivirus) that’s stopping your SpotifyWebHelper to be started. It should be in your Spotify folder in %APPDATA%
Thank you very much. Simply awesome – not the least because those ads are extremely loud.
