Uninstall:

  • Just run uninstall.bat or
  • Reinstall Spotify

Known Issues:

  • BlockTheSpot will have issues blocking ads on the alpha version of Spotify. To identify this, Look into Spotify version and see if there is -a in the end. If so, you have an Alpha Version of Spotify. To go back and use BlockTheSpot perfectly on normal Spotify, Click here to download the Latest Spotify Full Setup.
  • Optional Feature "Remove Upgrade Button" will not work with Spicetify, also might have issues with alpha Spotify.
  • It will also have issues with latest Spotify where the user Avatar will be blank.

Note:

  • "chrome_elf.dll" gets replaced by the Spotify installer each time it updates, make sure to replace it after an update
  • The ad banner may appear if your network uses Web Proxy Auto-Discovery Protocol
    • Setting Skip_wpad = 1 in config.ini may help
  • For Spotify Premium users, setting Block_BannerOnly = 1 will only block the banner at home
