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.

This program is very useful. I’m so tired of ads. Here are some suggestions though:

1. Tray context menu to perform the GUI actions without having to bring up the main window.

2. Remember saved options (every time I open it I have to uncheck Taskbar notifications)[Just use a .ini file for simplicity].

3. Update Check on open — not necessarily a downloader, just to notify if an updated version is available on the website. (have it check a server .txt document with a version number)

tray icon right click menu with options like -mute/unmute, -block/unblock, -exit.

This work on my desktop running Win 7 x86, Could you add feature to to not just silent during commercials but also skip, like script to skip ads in youtube, but anyway thanks for your work

Doesn’t work for me. Clicking mute/unmute doesn’t do anything and no ads are blocked.

Win7 x64. Tried running as administrator, same results.

EZ Blocker is a great little app! (Why no “contribute” button?) At most I’m hearing a second of a commercial before it mutes (the mute button works also). Was using another ad blocker but it wouldn’t let me minimize Spotify. Running with Win 7 64.

And if anyone is listening at Spotify: I don’t mind an occasional ad, but that frequent obnoxious Advance Auto Parts ad led me to find a blocker.

yes this is totally broken under Windows 7 x64. Mute/unmute does not work and does not block ads.
