A maintained hosts-file blocklist that redirects Spotify's ad and analytics/tracking domains to localhost, blocking ads and telemetry on Linux, macOS, and Windows. It also provides Pi-hole-compatible blocklist and whitelist files.

Use cases

  • block spotify ads on a free account
  • stop spotify from tracking me
  • block spotify telemetry via hosts file
  • add spotify ad domains to pi-hole
  • listen to spotify without ads on linux
  • block spotify analytics domains on mac

When to choose

  • you want a simple, legal, DNS-level way to silence Spotify ads and tracking
  • you use Pi-hole or manage a hosts file and want a curated Spotify blocklist
  • you want cross-platform coverage without installing extra software

When to avoid

  • you use Spotify Premium and just want a cleaner client
  • you need guaranteed ad blocking - Spotify can serve ads from domains you whitelist for playback
  • you want a turnkey app rather than manually editing a hosts file
  • you need blocking inside the browser web player, which may behave differently
