4.0/5

For those of you who use Spotify, EZBlocker 3 should seem pretty familiar. This continuously evolving ad-muting application could actually be mistaken for an add-on of sorts. Why?

Simply because if you want to make use of your playlists as you intend, advertisements could get in the way, thus hindering your overall experience. Using EZBlocker 3, with its improved algorithms, could make a big difference.

The first and most important improvement over other similar apps has to do with an enhanced muting algorithm that in turn will prompt the app to detect advertisements more accurately. Its modern and simplistic UI will not have you scared at all. It is able to differentiate ads from the rest of your content by analyzing the Spotify window title. The application extracts the title and then checks to see if it changes using SetWinEventHook process.

It doesn't really matter if you have or haven't used similar applications before. This particular one seems to try to offer a viable solution to ad-muting, fixing issues that have plagued the competition. Listen to your favorite tunes and once a pesky ad begins playing, the application will have already muted it. Once your track resumes playing, the app unmutes Spotify instantly.

Now, this application also offers plenty of customizable features. Aside from the classical minimizing to tray or taskbar choice, you can decide if you want to unmute Spotify on close, check for updates, start on login, or start whenever Spotify is accessed.

The debug mode will most likely be of interest to more experienced individuals. It could also be the best way to isolate and fix any future bugs that might show up. This application also provides an easier way to reach the volume mixer. It's not really revolutionary, but it might make things more accessible in the end.

EZBlocker 3 is one of those very specific apps. If Spotify is not really of any interest to you, then there's little EZBlocker 3 can do. Still, for all Spotify users, this application could represent a serious enhancement, especially since it seems to have gotten better at detecting and muting ads.
