Adless Spotify Player by setting volume to zero while an ad is playing

Adless Spotify Player

Seems to be not working anymore but since I didn't made any change I guess cause of the error is Spotify's changes. Due that I don't really happy with this project I'm not going to update/fix but if would like to fix whatever the error is you can always open PR, I'm not going to archive this project.

Why I Made That?

There is 3 reasons why I made that

1. Because I'm a high school student and Spotify haven't got any plans for us.
2. Because my premium subscription has ended and Spotify ads are so annoying.
3. Because long time ago I reported that Spotify webplayer not playing any ads and they just deleted my report awkwardly and put ads to webplayer.

So you saying there is ads even if you use this?

Well yes but actually no, after Spotify put ads into webplayer I decided make an another program (or webpage whatever you call) to block ads. If one of them playing program sets volume to zero to prevent listening these annoying ads.
