SpotiMuter

SpotiMuter is an Electron application that mutes Spotify ADs. When a Spotify AD is playing, SpotiMuter automatically mutes the Spotify application on Windows and mutes your speakers on all other platforms. It DOES NOT remove ADs from Spotify. Spotify has patched HOST file editing. Even if there is a way to remove ADs completely, it can be detected by Spotify and WILL get your account banned. What SpotiMuter is doing is on the client side ONLY, and will NOT get your account banned by Spotify.

Build from source

Instructions on how to build SpotiMuter from source.

• Prerequisites:

  • A computer with a git command line
  • A computer that has nodeJS installed on it, and the ability to install npm modules.
  • Know the basics of how to install NPM packags & rebuild them if necessary.

• Instructions:

  • Fork SpotiMuter using git clone https://github.com/AirFusion45/Spotify-Muter.git
  • Install all required dependencies using npm install
  • Go into config.json and make sure that devMode is set to false
  • Start app using npm start || electron .

NPM Rebuild Instructions

You might need to rebuild some modules when building from source. It is helpful if you have a basic understanding of how NPM rebuilding works. Below is a rough example of the rebuild command. The command below is for rebuilding robotjs against node 69. npm rebuild --runtime=electron --target=4.2.0 --disturl=https://atom.io/download/atom-shell --abi=69

Download Alpha Version

• The alpha version of the complied EXE is under "release".
• Please note that this software is still in ALPHA. There is only a windows EXE that hs been compiled. MacOS .dmg has not been compiled. Read the first release on why there is no MacOS .dmg
