You can download the client app from the [latest release](https://github.com/An0n-00/SpotifyAB/releases/latest/download/SpotifyAB-Installer.exe) in this repository. 🚀\n\n## Installation Guide\n\nTo install the Spotify AdBlocker, follow these steps:\n\n1. **Download the Client App:**\n   - Obtain the `SpotifyAB-Installer.exe` file from the [latest release](https://github.com/An0n-00/SpotifyAB/releases/latest/download/SpotifyAB-Installer.exe)\n   - Run the installer to install the Spotify AdBlocker.\n   - Choose the option that you want to do.\n\n2. **Restart Spotify:**\nDone! You have successfully installed the Spotify AdBlocker! 🎉\n\n### Visuals\n\nHere you have some images of the client app:\n![Visual of the Client app](/docs/pics/visuals.png)\n\n## Manual Installation Guide\n\nTo implement the Spotify AdBlocker, follow these steps:\n\n1. **Download the Required File:**\n   - Obtain the `xpui.spa` file from the [latest release](https://github.com/An0n-00/SpotifyAB/releases) in this repository.\n\n2. **Replace the Existing File in Spotify Directory:**\n   - Navigate to your Spotify installation directory:\n     `C:\\Users\\_username_\\AppData\\Roaming\\Spotify\\Apps\\`\n   - Replace the existing `xpui.spa` file with the downloaded `xpui.spa` from step 1.\n   - ~If you encounter issues, unzip the `xpui.spa` to `.\\xpui\\`~\n   - Newly you have to have the `xpui.spa` and `\\xpui` as a folder. (you can unzip the xpui.spa file with any other software that unzips .tar files)\n\n\u003e [!important]\n\u003e Please always read the newest release, as it may contain newer information than written here\n\n3. **Restart Spotify:**\n   - Close and reopen the Spotify desktop app to apply the changes.\n\nYou have successfully installed the Spotify AdBlocker! 🎉\n\n\u003e [!CAUTION]  \n\u003e ### Compatibility Notice:\n\u003e This method is specifically designed for the Spotify desktop app on Windows. **The Microsoft Store version is not supported.** 🖥️❌\n\n## Verification Process\n\nYou can verify the functionality by examining the contents of the `xpui.spa` file:\n\n- Unzip the `xpui.spa` file using any zip program.\n- Explore the extracted files. The main file of interest is `./spotifyAB/AB.js` and the `index.html` file, which calls the JS file.\n- The `AB.js` file contains the JavaScript code that blocks the ads.\n\n---\n\n## 🌟 How to Build the Client App\n\nIf you want to build the client app yourself, follow these steps:\n\n1. **Clone the Repository:**\n   ```bash\n   git clone https://github.com/An0n-00/SpotifyAB.git\n   cd SpotifyAB/SpotifyABClient\n   ```\n\n2. **Build the App:** \n   ```bash\n   dotnet build --Configuration Release\n   cd ./bin\n   ```\n\n3. **Test Your Build:**\n   - Run the built `SpotifyAB.exe` and verify its functionality.\n\n🎉 You’ve successfully built the SpotifyAB client app!\n\n---\n\n## Legal Information\n\n- **License:** SpotifyAB by An0n-00 is [licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International](/license)\n- **Disclaimer:** Use this software at your own risk.

It did not work out properly due to Spotify's changes in the ad-serving mechanism. However, I recommend to add the domains to the hosts file as an additional layer of protection and to block trackers. 📝 Check it out! 📦\n\nIf you have any questions or encounter issues, please feel free to reach out by opening an issue on the GitHub repository. 📢\n\n**Enjoy your ad-free Spotify experience with SpotifyAB!** 🎶🚀\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fan0n-00%2Fspotifyab","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fan0n-00%2Fspotifyab","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fan0n-00%2Fspotifyab/lists"}
