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 it, but could you please make the new version backwards-compatible with the “old” Spotify? I hate the new update, but I’d really like to hide banner ads.
I’m not understanding. This is compatible with older versions of Spotify, unless you’re talking about really old versions. You can always disable the updates in Spotify if you don’t like the recent updates, look online on how to do so, and then use this with an older version of Spotify.
I just upgraded to Windows 10. I can confirm it still works just fine, I’m going to do a clean install later, so I’ll let you know if that causes any new problems. Just from upgrading alone though, it’s still working.
It didn’t work at first, I had to restart EZBlocker once, but it recognized Spotify after that restart. Closed it down, reopened Spotify again by itself, and it’s still working just like it did in Windows 8.1.
Loving Windows 10 so far by the way, super snappy for me.
After a clean install, it’s still working fine.
Mine is not working. I had it on my pc and it bugged out muting music bot musting ads, not opening and so on. I uninstalled it with the intention of reinstalling, but now everytime i click the file and run it, absolutely nothing happens. I have tried all versions. What should i do?
Windows 10 compatible? =)
Hopefully someone using this with Windows 10 can answer that question.
works for me.
Totally works 🙂
I can confirm it works on Windows 10 Pro x64. Block both the audio ads and the banner ads.
Thank you so much! This completely blocked all ads, it’s not even playing any audio ad, I’m so damn happy lol.
Wow love your tool, very usefull and well made. Thank you for uploading this free!
If anyone has trouble, you can always revert back to an older version of Spotify. Just look for older versions online, and disable the updates.
Although I’m still hoping this gets updated for the more recent versions, I do really like the new green inlays they implemented into the new layout. It is pretty.
for a week or so the release version hasnt been working; running it doen’t seem to do anything. compiling it myself and it seems to work fine though
