To save folks from having to look elsewhere:

Michael Gundlach sent us the following filter, which amends one I got originally from the ABP forum post referred to above. Michael says this filter works in all cases he's found:

Code: Select all

/mp3-ad/*$domain=open.spotify.com|play.spotify.com

Spotify has changed their anti-adblock again, and audio ads are getting through.

My issue is that the Windows version of Spotify pauses the audio whenever an advert is due. Only way to get past is to reload the page. Can anyone help, please?

Many thanks

The Linux version of Adblock for Firefox also is stopping after block ads, displaying an "Advertisement" label on music title. I have no solution yet.
