BlockTheSpot itself is free and well-built. Finding clear, complete answers about installing and troubleshooting it wasn't — so this site exists to fill that gap.
Independent guide, not the official project. This site explains and documents the open-source BlockTheSpot patch — it isn't affiliated with, endorsed by, or run by its maintainers, and doesn't distribute the software itself. Get the real thing straight from the source: github.com/mrpond/BlockTheSpot ↗
BlockTheSpot's own documentation is a single, terse README — accurate, but short on the detail people actually search for: what happens when it breaks, whether it's safe, how it compares to alternatives, whether it works on your specific setup. We're not the developers of the patch. We write and maintain the guides that answer those follow-up questions, sourced from the project's own public code and documentation rather than guesswork.
If you're looking for the actual software, it lives at github.com/mrpond/BlockTheSpot — this site is a companion resource, not a substitute.
Every technical claim on this site — what config.ini controls, which files get replaced, what a given error means — is checked against the project's public README, config file, and release history before publishing. When we're not certain something is accurate, we say so rather than presenting a guess as fact.
Claims are checked against the actual public code, not assumed.
Guides get revisited when the project ships changes that affect them.
Distinct from how BlockTheSpot itself handles Spotify's data — this is about visiting this website.
Nothing on this site requires signing up or logging in.
We link to the official release rather than distributing files ourselves — see our get-it guide for why.
This is a free guide supported by standard display advertising — the same as most independent publications.
Reverse-engineered software changes fast. If a guide is out of date or you've spotted something wrong, we want to know.
Use the contact page to flag anything that's out of date or wrong.
Corrections get verified against the project's actual repo before a guide is updated.
If we can't verify something, we either mark it as unconfirmed or leave it out.
For anything mission-critical, the official repo ↗ is always the final word.
