##################################################################################
# ELIMINATE SPOTIFY ADS (VERSION 1.2 - 8.5) - ABANDONED FOR NOW #
##################################################################################
#
# NOTE: SOMETIMES ONLY ANNOUNCEMENT OF AN AD WHILE USING APP VERSION 7.5-7.9?-8.x.
# USING AN OFFICIAL OLDER VERSION SOLVES THIS. TEST IT (APKMIRROR). THIS WILL NOT
# OCCUR USING CHROMECAST / GOOGLE HOME.
#
# COULD NOT SOLVE THE AUDIO AD INRO/OUTRO IN THE APP.
# SUGGESTIONS? WRITE A COMMENT BELOW.
#
# ALSO WHEN USING CHROMECAST DO BLOCK THE GOOGLE DNS SERVERS: 8.8.8.8 AND 8.8.4.4.
#
# **I've analyzed the Spotify network. Assuming you are using a(n) (ad block)
# hosts file on your computer or router, most advertisement site are already
# blocked. I did not test Spotify by solely blocking these hosts since I also use
# another hosts file to block generic advertisement sites.**
#####################################################################
# I WOULD SUGGEST TO NOT BLOCK THE FOLLOWING HOSTS CONTAINING #
# for linux use grep -ivf allowed.txt blocked.txt > blocked_new.txt #

# (*) Block spclient.wg.spotify.com while using destop application (it will break social features, the Android app and Chromecast).
# An alternative solution is to block the 35.186.224.0/24 IP-range (outgoing) but it also breaks Android functionality,
# yet keeps the friends feed untouched.
#
# Will test other hosts to prevent blocking this, so it's compatible with all devices.

Hi, just using the first raw page in my host file. When using Spotify in Safari, there is no sound. There is no other device connected. Tried taking out bits of the hosts file but this made it worse.
I hope you figure out what the problem is and may have a solution.

Many thanks for what you've given. :)

Unfortunately, this list currently breaks playing from song searches in the official Spotify web player, on Ubuntu Linux, at least.

From the Pi-Hole log, it seems the following is involved after clicking on a search result:
Dec 11 12:44:24: query[A] audio-fa.scdn.co from 192.168.77.159

From the notes in the file, this is also used on Chromecast. Maybe you altogether remove this from the list?

FYI, noticed today that in the connection logs, they are hitting this IP 146.75.94.248 which seems to be part of the Fastly IP range. There is also a new Akamai address it is connecting to: a23-72-90-68.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com

To all here. Sorry, I've abandoned this list, but I'm happy to see it's an active gist. For me this was working but note that Spotify moved their own ads to their own domain. So those ads cannot be blocked this way (just like YouTube did for all ads, smart asses). This was created for using Chromecast. I think it would also work when you use Bluetooth (didn't test it). Before I abandoned this, I believe the Web Player was also ad free. Play with it. Depends on what you use and you only need to block some Spotify domains or Spotify CDN's which are remarked (use your logic by observing the names). Nowadays I use an external DNS like NextDNS.io. There you can view the logs and adjust your blocking. But note that you've only 30.000 DNS for free per month. But if you use 1 device on that DNS it could be sufficient. For daredevils, there is some site which offers quasi lite apk's (hint). When you've setup your global ad free environment, installed the app, you're without the ads, have unlimited skips. Use a temp mail address. Good luck!

@opus-x Thanks for maintaining the list for the time you did, it was always a pleasure. Good info on NextDNS, one of the best projects around! 👌🙏

Well I can always recommend DuckDuckGo for Mobile (Android) because it creates a local VPN to block trackers pretty well!

I'm still getting ads on Android. Any better list to use?

Okay, I just asked AI to create an ad block list for Spotify. It denied to create one due to jurisdiction and ToS. I succeeded in convincing AI to create a list. Here it comes.

Since this is a rather short list i'm not convinced it will work and I'm not eager to test. I still use the original host file gist for my Chromecast and it's working flawlessly (imported in NextDNS). I'm not eager to put any time in this anymore. If I have time I try to find out what hosts I'm blocking right now. I use NextDNS for my Chromecast only (300.000 query limit on the free tier) so it would be easy to see what is blocked when I use Chromecast. Note that this block host file was intended for Chromecast (and web player) since I don't use BlueTooth (a money mather). I've also created a YouTube host file but this is not working anymore since Google decided to play all ads from their own domain name. But it worked very well two/three years ago. Providers are getting smarter.

Cheers!

I don't know why but this huge list on my Windows machine didn't worked, this smaller one instead did: https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/4kn6rq/comprehensive_guide_to_blocking_ads_on_spotify/

This is probably due to the fact that they block open.spotify.com & spclient.wg.spotify.com while this list isn't (instead it only suggests not to block it).

By blocking these, you will mostly likely break the website streaming, social features and probably the radio feature. So, you are free to do whatever you like.

Indeed, this is accurate. The issue arises because some users utilize the web player, others employ Chromecast, and some solely rely on the app, whether with or without Bluetooth. The hostname "open.spotify.com" is associated with the web player, and indeed, blocking it (or having done so in the past) results in fewer or no ads. Personally, I used the web player on my laptop while programming, which made it challenging to implement ad-blocking.

As for "spclient.wg.spotify.com" (although I'm not entirely certain), it appears to interfere with Chromecast. Although I believe it might be "partner.spotify.com" instead. This list is intended for experienced users only. If you refer to the other file containing Spotify network information, you'll find explanations regarding the purpose of each domain name.

Please note that this list is not intended for plug-and-play usage, which is why there is an additional file provided.

FWIW, when I use the web player with just uBlock and the standard adblock lists, I get no ads at all. I just wish it was that foolproof with the apps on mobile or desktop.

Any chance you can share your current host file? I am sure you have probably added a few more to the blocklist since you initially made the list? I sorely use Chromecasts in my house so the Desktop/mobile app is not an issue for me. I've run into other issues with ads preventing Spotify continuing playback afterwards or silent songs

I tried to adapt this list to adguard but it doesn't work , do you know if there is a working one

Thank you for the list, however I found some dead domains as provided below, I have converted the list down to regex for pi-hole, works a treat.

Cheers
