Ads getting through still (WIndows 10) #25

Hey just found your project and it seems to work for about half the ads, but audio ads are still getting through. It seems to be blocking most banner ads but I still get the occasional popup or batch of audio ads every few songs. I'm assuming that they have added new hosts to the rotation and have not been included in the blacklist hosts file you have? Just wanted to find out what you would recommend using to try and track the new incoming traffic? Also wanted to get you some info if it helps at all. Thanks!

Spotify version: 1.1.37.690.g8f3b16fc Windows 10 version: 1909 (18363.900) Using the latest hosts file commit in master branch (bc3ef39)

Hi,

Then you did something not completely correctly.

Example Spotify downloaded form official website and running flawless via Pi-Hole.
