Could you build this?

Partial While the core concept is simple, reliably detecting Spotify ads on Windows without an official API requires low-level OS process monitoring and audio routing.

What it would actually take: A developer would write a native Windows desktop app (C#/.NET, Rust, or C++) using the Windows Core Audio APIs (WASAPI) and Win32 event hooks to monitor the Spotify process window title (which changes during ads) or detect audio signatures. It requires an audio mixing/switching pipeline to inject replacement audio streams while muting the Spotify audio session specifically.
