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.

You are a man.
Thumbs up!!! works like a charm in Windows 10!!! Thank you thank you …
Hey, I have a problem with EZBlocker. It increase my CPU rapidly and in the end the computer is useless. Any idea for that? Thank you so much.
Just use the Spotify Web player with AdBlock extension. You won’t even have a break without audio it just skips ads completely and the bitrate is the same as on the desktop client.
Thanks for the program man! Nice Job! Works correct in win 7
Anyone know how to block the video ads?…it seem this isn´t working with video ads 🙁
Since a few days, AVG Free Anti Virus blocks EZ-Blocker in two ways:
1.) Virus is detected as mentioned here before. I solved this by putting EZBlocker.exe in the exception list.
2.) AVG somehow blocks the network connection between EZBlocker and Spotify. EZBlocker shows “Connection Error” as long as AVGs “Surf Shiled” is activated. If I disable it, EZBlocker works fine.
Any idea how to find a workaround for this?

Add the folder of the EZBlocker to the AVG scan exclusion. 🙂
DJPRMF: Read my comment again: I *did* add the folder and .exe to the scan exclusion. That *only* solves the virus detection popup (point 1).
The problem is point 2: AVG blocks the network connection between EZBlocker and Spotify.
Got the same issue here.. would really appreciate a solution as well.
I’m using 360 total security and adding EZblocker to the whitelist didn’t made me any problem. Hope it helps 😉
Works great. I really needed this, because banner ads make spotify lag and take forever to launch
