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.
Still works and I have Windows 10. Even works when Spotify wants to upgrade.
to those interested (I’m on winXP and can’t run EzBlocker), Adblock extension on google chrome skips ALL ads on web spotify. (play.spotify.com)
not work 🙁
Hi Eric, I was wondering if you can make it a default that you can choose to enable banner blocking – so that it is done automatically in future? I choose this every time; however I don’t think it has ever worked. I assume a banner ad is the long ad down the middle bottom of the screen (for Win 8.1 Desktop)? Cause those long ads are always there. Eitherway it doesn’t matter, your ap does mute the audio for the ads and that’s really all that matters! Thank you so much dude; I was seriously on the verge of… Read more »

‘The latest version of EZBlocker is picked up as “Trojan.Generic” by a few AV vendors. This is most likely due to the way EZBlocker disables Spotify’s banner ads. If you do not feel comfortable downloading the executables directly, feel free to view the source code and compile it yourself.’ – from above.
I’ve been using this for quite a while, and it’s definitely not a virus.
Unfortunately this App doesnt work anymore for a couple of days now on Windows.
I just downloaded it and it’s working for me! Thanks!
It works sometimes but most of the time it says “Spotify is paused” and Ads + Video Ads get played. How about we get the feature back to add the ads manually to a list?
The program no longer mutes video ads.
