Known Issues:

• Optional Feature "Remove Upgrade Button" will not work with Spicetify, also might have issues with alpha Spotify.
• It will also have issues with latest Spotify where the user Avatar will be blank.

Note:

• "chrome_elf.dll" gets replaced by the Spotify installer each time it updates, make sure to replace it after an update.
• Spicetify users have to reapply BlockTheSpot after applying a Spicetify theme.
• The ad banner may appear if your network uses Web Proxy Auto-Discovery Protocol
  • Setting Skip_wpad = 1 in config.ini may help
• For Spotify Premium users, setting Block_BannerOnly = 1 will only block the banner at home
