SpotMute - Mute ads

Want to listen to Spotify ads? No? Then install SpotMute.
SpotMute is light-weight permission free and open source.
If you have a device with an aggressive battery saving feature such as with OnePlus/Huawei/Xiaomi/Samsung be sure to disable it for SpotMute. Otherwise you will experience issues such as muting not working when the app is not open/screen is off. For further instructions please click the 'Allow SpotMute to run in the background' tile in the app or visit the site listed below and find your manufacturer:

SpotMute runs in the background and mutes music volume when a Spotify ad is playing and automagically restores the volume afterwards. All you have to do is enable 'Device Broadcast Status' in Spotify settings and starting SpotMute.
As the name implies SpotMute does not block ads it simply mutes them. Therefore it does not mess with the Spotify app require crazy permissions or even root access. This comes with some limitations specifically it can not mute ads after you skip a track before the first track has finished.
Tips:
- SpotMute comes with a Quick Settings tile and widget for you to easily enable it.
- SpotMute can automatically launch Spotify when the app is opened. See overflow menu for toggle. To enter SpotMute again use the notificaion.
SpotMute should work on all devices and Android versions! Then only thing you have to do is:
- Check that 'Device Broadcast Status' is enabled in Spotify settings.
- Disable any battery saving feature for SpotMute (!)
If you hear the beginning/end of an ad please adjust the muting/unmuting buffer (accessed by the overflow menu). This value is device and environment specific however it is set to a default value which should work reasonably for most people.
Unfortunately Spotify Lite is not supported because Spotify has removed the functionality I use to detect ads to keep the app lightweight. There is nothing I can do about this.
SpotMute is opens source! github.com/oyvindsam/SpotMute
Requires 'run foreground service' permission to actually mute ads without the app being open 'network access' to load data from dontkillmyapp.
