Warning: I highly recommend buying Spotify Premium in order to help support Spotify, but in case you're unable to do so, this script exists to help make life a bit easier.
This script disables and removes ads for the Windows desktop Spotify client. It does not affect the Microsoft Store version of Spotify, so if you have the Microsoft Store version of Spotify and would like to use this script, please uninstall it and install the desktop Spotify client.
Note: I no longer use Windows as my primary platform, so I will not be able to test this script anymore. However, I will continue updating it to support newer versions of Spotify. Please tell me if anything is broken in the issues!
How to use this script: click on the releases, download the AdlessSpotify.ps1 script, save it somewhere that is easily accessible, right click it, and click "Run with Powershell." You can also run this script using different methods (using Windows Terminal or other similar method) if you'd prefer.
Special thanks to the SpotifyHosts subreddit, the BlockTheSpot project, and Light for figuring out custom program files and inspiring me to create this script!
