# About

Spotify Ads List is a list of domains that includes all the domains from which Spotify Apps get audio ads, banners...

Blocking these domains is totally legal since the only thing you are doing is redirecting requests from these domains to 0.0.0.0 also known as nowhere.

Making the list cost me a lot of time but finally it seems to work, in case you find any false positive let me know by creating an Issue, also if you want to collaborate I invite you to create a fork of the repository.

## Why do black spaces continue to appear where the advertisements were before?

!!! question inline end "Answer"
!!! question "Answer"
Although our blockoblocklist blocks banner and image ads, Spotify's apps continue to reserve a space to place these ads, and since Spotify can't get those ads and banners, they will continue to appear in black.

![Space Example](./images/ads_space.png)

## Why do I sometimes get a message "This content cannot be played at this time?

!!! question inline end "Answer"
!!! question "Answer"
When Spotify tries to display an ad, it changes the name of the song to Advertisement, and attempts to load the audio and images from the ad. However, since it is unable to get this content through the blocklist, Spotify will resume playing music as normal.

## Why does Spotify sometimes take longer to load or behave strangely?

!!! question inline end "Answer"
!!! question "Answer"
Although this list is safe and cannot damage your Spotify or your computer in any way. Sometimes Spotify may take a little bit longer to load or have some weird behavior, because the application is actually trying to continuously contact some ad domains, tracking, which are usually constantly changing to find unblocked domains. And this can sometimes change the behavior of the application a little bit.
