Mute Rdio Ads (copy + paste into browser console) [24 Oct 2013]

MuteRdioAds.js

var r = R.player, oVol = r.volume(), tf = r._onTrackFinished, ar = r._onAudioReady, n = r._next;

r._onTrackFinished = function() {
  return .001 !== r.volume() && (oVol = r.volume()), r.volume(.001), tf.apply(this, arguments);
};

r._onAudioReady = function() {
  return r.playingAd() || r.volume(oVol), ar.apply(this, arguments);
};

r._next = function() {
  arguments[0] = false;
  return n.apply(this, arguments);
};

Works like a charm 😄 Thanks.

It works on chromium too.
I just Love it!
Thanks a lot!

Works perfect, thank you so much !

Hi there! I've been using this from some days ago and I just loved it!
The only thing I'd add is the manual skip, it still plays the ad.
So if you want to add to your code here is what I did (thanks a lot for your code!!!)

var r = R.player, oVol = r.volume(), tf = r._onTrackFinished, ar = r._onAudioReady, n = r._next;

r._onTrackFinished = function() {
  return .001 !== r.volume() && (oVol = r.volume()), r.volume(.001), tf.apply(this, arguments);
};

r._onAudioReady = function() {
  return r.playingAd() || r.volume(oVol), ar.apply(this, arguments);
};

r._next = function() {
  arguments[0] = false;
  return n.apply(this, arguments);
};

It took me a while to figure out a way to make this code "stick", since I rarely use Chrome or Chromium. Install the "Custom Javascript for websites" extension for Chrome, go to the rdio.com website, click on the extension's icon ("cjs"), paste the above code in the box that appears, and save. Done. It might give you an error and tell you to refresh, so try that. I use allanforever's code and actually I'm on Chromium, but it will work for Chrome too.

Thanks for the scripts! Muting works great during "regular" playback for me, but it does not mute after (inbetween) manual track skip. Is this working for others?

@allanforever thanks! Added to the gist.
