About BlockTheSpot

BlockTheSpot Installer is the repository for the installer of BlockTheSpot, which the project describes as a multi-purpose ad blocker and skip bypass for the 64-bit Windows version of the Spotify desktop app. The repository states that the installer is written in Go and is open source.

The user downloads BlockTheSpotInstaller.exe and runs it. The installer closes Spotify, reinstalls it if the installed version differs from the selected one, and then applies the patch. Spotify downloads come from Loadspot, an external source. The installer offers only the exact Spotify version a patch release declares and does not substitute a newer one. Uninstall / Restore removes the patch and restores the matching original DLL. The README asks users to support Spotify by purchasing premium. Pricing for this project is unknown.
