#### Easy Installation:
[Download](https://github.com/master131/BlockTheSpot/raw/master/install.bat) and run install.bat. You don't need to download any other file.
PS - It's not encrypted at all, it's a batch file with the mod embedded at the end (see the "MZ" header). You can always use the manual installation method.
#### Manual Installation:
[Download](https://github.com/master131/BlockTheSpot/raw/master/netutils.dll) and drop netutils.dll inside the Spotify installation folder (next to Spotify.exe).
The default Spotify installation location is: %APPDATA%/Spotify (copy and paste into Explorer address bar)
#### Uninstall:
To uninstall, simply delete netutils.dll from your Spotify installation (see above for the location).
