Non-audio? VoodooPad Pro. Soundcloud app (free at App store). All the iLife tools and iWork for doing all kinds of artwork with Keynote (perfect for CD/mp3 covers and so on), Omnidisksweeper (free) for checking unused files on disk. RAR expander for RAR unarchiving. Transmit for FPT services. TextWrangler is a free/good text editor even if I use BBEdit and TextMate most of the time. Motion for odd video effects for promo videos, iMovie and FCP X for video editing. Aperture for photo archiving/editing.
As for audio apps: Switch for doing the odd audio conversion format job from time to time, Audacity for vinyl ripping, and then tons of DAWs + plug-ins and so on and so on.
I recommend going up on the App store from time to time, there are plenty of free or very cheap utility apps there all the time.
