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.

Doesn’t work for me anymore. Just tried the latest version from May without any luck. Just heard the most awful commercial from some leasing company and my ears are bleeding non-stop now! Aaargh! Come on Spotify, 128kbps isn’t enough torture?
update to the last version, that will fix it. i had the same problem
works !!! Thanks so much !!!
Doesnt work like before… and is to slow with the add sound blocking.. still get 1 to 2 seconds of add blasting volume. Hope it will be fixed soon
Nope, the newest version does, sadly, not hide the overlayed ads.
New version sadly does not hide ads. Thank you for your efforts EZ.
I Love This Utility. People are like ” How do you block your ads” and I tell them about this. Fantastic work. Thank you so much.
update: in my case cleaning system32/etc/….. “hosts” to prederminate hosts and work again.
Same here! Just removed anything from hosts mentioning adds and spotify, and ezblocker got out of that eternal “Loading…”
Can you tell me how did you do that exactly?
Latest EZ update not working for disabling the ads…
