Spotify is a popular streaming music service offering three types of subscription – Spotify Free, Spotify Premium ($9.99 per month) and Spotify Family ($14.99 per month). Spotify Free users can listen to songs on demand, discover new music, play and share music, playlist, album, etc, at the expense of having to hear adverts between tracks, because those ad-free Spotify songs are limited to Premium subscribers. Therefore, a great many Spotify Free users are seeking for a way to get rid of the annoying ads for free. This tutorial will guide you on how to completely block ads on Spotify without Premium.
A good method is to use the advert links and block them in our systems hosts file. But Spotify adds new adverts nearly every week so we'd have to open up the code and paste in a new code every week. Here we are going to introduce three methods to enable you to listen to Spotify without ads. In the second method, you can enjoy Spotify without ads, without Premium, without Wifi and Spotify App, either.
Use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to help you block ads while listening to Spotify music. Normally, this method works for all computer & mobile devices. Just select a different region server on VPN, and launch Spotify to stream music. You'll find that there's fewer audio advertisement during listening. But note that this method will not completely stop all ads from Spotify. If you would like to remove every piece of ad from Spotify, please refer to the next workaround.
As we all know, Spotify music is protected by its encoded technology. We are tied up with all kinds of restrictions. To unlock these limitations, we must record Spotify songs. Next, we are going to introduce a popular Spotify music converting tool – NoteBurner Spotify Music Converter, which is able to record and download Spotify songs/playlists to MP3, AAC, WAV, AIFF, FLAC, or ALAC format, the ID3 tags and 100% lossless quality are kept after conversion. Without further ado, the following we will show you how to block ads on Spotify without upgrading to Premium by using NoteBurner.

The working principle is to mute the ads and continue to play music. Here we will introduce you various popular Spotify adblockers to help you block Spotify ads on Windows, macOS, iPhone, or Android devices.
Spotify Ad Blocker (Chromebook, macOS, or Windows) - It's a free extension, compatible with all Windows, macOS, and Chromebook devices, and you only have to add it to your browser to remove all audio ads on Spotify so that you can listen to music ad-free.
