If you have amazon prime, they just unleashed to prime members their entire library of mp3's. You could look into that.
Considering OP barely wants to pay $4.99 for "lifetime access to music" I highly doubt the OP is willing to pay $79/$99 for amazon prime device. Plus amazon prime music selection isn't that great right now.

Sorta of if you mean all three give you option to stream for free. But In my opinion Spotify is much better especially for Spotify premium ($9.99 a month). Gives me on demand service. Can choose to stream almost any song I want on demand.
Plus i have option to go "off line" mode and download the songs I want and listen without data connection.
You can have Spotify premium on 3 devices. I put the other two devices off line and have one running. Spotify won't let you stream from same acct at the same time
I have an actual radio...That's like a two-dollar goodwill investment, and it's unlimited free music all day/every day.
Sounds like a lousy option. Not only does it cost you at least some money, but there's limited stations to choose from, you're definitely dealing with advertisments, and there are possibly reception issues too. On top of all that, I suspect this Goodwill radio of yours can't really be used while jogging, and probably doesn't have an earbuds jack anyway.
I'd try and get my money back if I were you.
It was $2, and I listen to NPR on it, perfect reception. No, I can't take it jogging, but jogging for me is a therapeutic experience, and I prefer to do it and enjoy the sounds of outdoors. No earbud jack, but since I work at home, I just have it turned on, quiet, across the room, not a bother with headphone jacks. Haha, it works for me, but not for you, apparently. I'm quite fine with my goodwill radio. I've been using it for quite a while.
I use the FM radio feature on my iPod Nano, love it. It's portable too!
The only thing I can think of is to get a cheap Lumia 520 and use Nokia Mix. It'll let you save them offline.

Sprint offers 3 free months of Spotify premium and 6 free months if you're on a Framily plan. There's also discounted rates after the first 6 months based on how many phones are in your Framily plan.
This will only happen if GPS reception is very poor to begin with.
Priority is always GPS > Wifi > Cellular.
If you enjoy listening to radio stations--the iHeart radio app is a great option with a wide variety of stations to listen to from across the country. Of course it is free because most stations run commercials--except the NPR stations. I use Spotify most of the time and am a paid member there but the iHeart app is a nice option if you are in the mood for a regular old fashioned radio station.
