SpotMute is light-weight, ad free, permission free*, and open source.
SpotMute mutes the music volume when a Spotify ad is playing, and automagically unmutes afterwards. All you have to do is enable 'Device Broadcast Status' in Spotify settings.
Be sure to disable any and all battery saving features for SpotMute if you want it to work nicely. If you haven't already, it's probably smart to do the same for Spotify. Otherwise you will experience that one (or both) will suddenly stop working (!).
An easy way to test that SpotMute actually works is to keep the screen on with SpotMute open, and have the phone charging.
Note that SpotMute is a Spotify ad muter, not blocker.
SpotMute is opens source!

Permissions required:
- 'run foreground service' permission is needed to actually mute ads without the app being open.
- 'network access' is used to load data from dontkillmyapp.com.
Silence ads on the lowest volume setting instead of muting them. You can find it in settings under "Beta".
In addition this release includes some new translations, a decrease of the size of the widget, fix for an issue with repeating same song, and for selected devices the battery optimization settings can now be opened directly from SpotMute.
