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.

Thank you Eric! The latest version works for me again \o/
I’ll name my first son after you <3
Stopped working
Hello Eric , It does’nt work anymore again after your last fix it’s was working two hour before now it’s freeze my spotify or doesnt do anything
This idea came across my mind. Audio ads play only after a song ends, so would it be possible to add a feature to EZblocker where it “skips” the song you are listening to 1-2 seconds before it ends, to the next song in the playlist, that way not allowing the audio ad to play ?
Just an idea that came across my mind. Would love a reply on this idea from Eric if he ever reads this.
I’ve tested this. Ads will still be queued up. It seems they are based on minutes of songs played rather than number of songs.
Hi Eric, thanks for the work you have done.
Would it be an option to “reset/restart” spotify when an ad is played? This way you need a few secs to restart spotify, but if this works that is way better than waiting half a minute.
Just get new version of Spotify and all will work.
Sadly Spotify have changed the ad servers, can you please update EZBlocker soon. Thanks.
Worked great for ages, since a few days I am getting adds now updated to last version and din’t work sadly 🙁
it isnt working on my spotify now sadly :'(
