Hi, I am on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and I added all the hosts in the hosts file but there are still audio ads. Using Spotify v1.1.26.501.gbe11e53b-15

30 second ads cant be removed its streamed via Spotify's main music DNS, that's why you cant block it. But :.

A: it doesn't collect any information. B: It's every 10/15 minutes.

Further then that Client is pretty much clean Screenshot from 2020-06-04 21-33-36

On Fedora 32 here

Oh okay, actually when I was on Windows there was an old Spotify app with some hosts provided by a friend, it didn't had any audio ads either so that's why I asked if it's possible to remove those audio ads. But anyways now that I know it cannot be removed, I will close this issue.
