Spotify's ad blocking version is available all the way from Android to Windows but for Linux a special repository exists just for this purpose.
Make may already be installed on your device but you can install it using sudo apt-get install build-essential to be on the safe side.Rust using the following command - curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | shThat's about it!
To finally install the adblocked version run the following commands on your terminal -
git clone https://github.com/abba23/spotify-adblock.git
cd spotify-adblock
make
Finally run - sudo make install
To test if it works run this command - LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/spotify-adblock.so spotify
This should now launch Spotify with the adblocked version!
If you run Spotify installed by you, you will notice the ads aren't blocked unless you run the command above on the terminal. To solve this issue a small hack exists.
cd ~/.local/share/applicationsnano spotify-adblock.desktop [Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Spotify (adblock)
GenericName=Music Player
Icon=spotify-client
TryExec=spotify
Exec=env LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/spotify-adblock.so spotify %U
Terminal=false
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/spotify;
Categories=Audio;Music;Player;AudioVideo;
StartupWMClass=spotify
Done! Now head over to your application menu and you will be seeing a new desktop icon called Spotify (adblock)
