==LaunchBar==
LaunchBar is a way of life. Hit Cmd-space and start typing the name of a program, document, folder, URL you've visited, or a song, and it brings up a list of matches almost instantaneously (even faster than Spotlight). You can use it to find and play songs quickly and navigate folders. It even "learns" the keyboard combinations you use to launch particular program; for example, you can train it to launch Firefox whenever you press Cmd-space then "F" then return. LaunchBar is shareware.

===Alternatives:===
[http://quicksilver.blacktree.com/ Quicksilver] is a more configurable and extensible application similar to Launchbar. It also has sweet visual effects and it is FREE.
[http://homepage.mac.com/asagoo/namely/ Namely] is exclusively an application launcher and is a lighter weight alternative to LaunchBar or Quicksilver.
