🎵 Ad-Free Spotify Setup Guide (BlockTheSpot)

This guide helps you set up ad-free Spotify on Windows using the BlockTheSpot script.
🟢 Works with Spotify downloaded from the official website.
🔴 Does NOT work with Microsoft Store version.

🚀 What is BlockTheSpot?

BlockTheSpot is a PowerShell-based patch that removes ads from Spotify, while keeping all other functionality intact — including logging in with your account and syncing playlists.

✅ Prerequisites

🛠️ Installation Steps

1. Uninstall Microsoft Store version (if installed)

If you already have Spotify from the Microsoft Store, uninstall it:

  1. Open Start Menu → Search for Spotify
  2. Right-click → Uninstall

2. Download Spotify from the Official Website

  1. Go to https://www.spotify.com/download
  2. Download and install Spotify

3. Login to Your Spotify Account

  • Open Spotify
  • Log in with your account
  • Close Spotify completely (make sure it's not running in the background)

4. Run BlockTheSpot Script in PowerShell

🔹 Open PowerShell as Administrator

  1. Press Win + X → Select Windows PowerShell (Admin)
    or search for PowerShell, right-click → Run as administrator

🔹 Paste and Run the Script Below:

[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12; Invoke-Expression "& { $(Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mrpond/BlockTheSpot/master/install.ps1') } -UninstallSpotifyStoreEdition -UpdateSpotify"

This will:

  • Remove Store version (if still present)
  • Patch your current Spotify installation
  • Enable ad-free experience

🔄 Update Spotify Safely

If Spotify updates in the future, simply rerun the PowerShell script to re-apply the patch.

🧼 Uninstall BlockTheSpot (if needed)

To revert to the original Spotify:

  1. Open PowerShell as Admin
  2. Run:
& "$env:APPDATA\Spotify\BlockTheSpot\uninstall.bat"
