Spotify gives you the possibility of playing and sharing your music from anywhere, but the audio ads that come up in between songs can be annoying. If you wish to enjoy your music without being hindered by ads, then you should definitely try EZBlocker. This simple and lightweight application can get rid those ads in Spotify. It comes with its own blacklist and it lets you add new keywords with only one click.

EZBlocker is offered completely free of charge. It doesn't need to be installed, but you should store its executable in its own folder, because the application will create a few extra files when you run it. You can use EZBlocker on Windows XP or any later edition, if you have .NET Framework 3.5 or a higher version.

When launched, EZBlocker will open Spotify and it will also display a compact user interface with a few options. The application automatically blocks ads, if they match the keywords on its blacklist. If you encounter new ads in Spotify, EZBlocker will display a system tray notification. Clicking this notification or an option on the application's user interface will send the current ad to the blacklist immediately. Once you send it to the blacklist, the ad will be removed from Spotify's instantly.

You can open and view the blacklist itself in Notepad, by clicking the appropriate options on EZBlocker's interface. It is also possible to mute and unmute Spotify and to disable the system tray notifications. Although it is still in an experimental stage, you can tick another option to send new ads to the blacklist automatically.

Pros

You can block ads in Spotify. The application includes a predefined blacklist, but you can add new items yourself, just by clicking a button. Also, EZBlocker is lightweight and it doesn't need to be installed.

Cons

There are no obvious drawbacks to mention. If you are tired of annoying ads in Spotify, EZBlocker will help you eliminate them instantly, with nothing more than a single click.
