I am interested in learning SFML apps other than games, for example: educational or musical apps. Please, give me some links. Thanks!

Blendo games has TGA viewer and svn visualisation program (both in C#):

There haven't been many non-game applications here on the forum, but I'm certain there quite a few out there, especially from different universities around the world, which usually don't bother to post their stuff here.
However Hiura posted his project from university (http://en.sfml-dev.org/forums/index.php?topic=12138.0), it's about neural networks.
In the neural network section, we've also quite a few projects by lolz123, like his ERL (http://en.sfml-dev.org/forums/index.php?topic=15675.0) or the NEAT Visualizer (http://en.sfml-dev.org/forums/index.php?topic=9897.0).

That reminds me, I've seen a (pretty cool) travelling salesman problem approximation solver via 2 opt (maybe 3 opt too) that shown path being optimized in real time.

I wrote a program for an old game that I play (Battlezone 1998), that made mapmaking easier, with OpenFrameworks, that I've been meaning to port over to SFML for a while.
Beyond that, and what everyone else mentioned, there isn't much I know of. I know of a few people that have mentioned they know SFML is used in ATMs and stuff or something along those lines.

I started work on a music application but keep getting side-tracked and distracted by details. Somehow, I'm currently working on bezier curves! Not very musical, you might think but it's linked indirectly. Maybe "indirectly squared" :P
With that and actually creating music and stuff, I'm avoiding spending time on the music thingy as it's mostly just UI stuff :(
If I ever complete it, I might let you know ;)

Yep, it was a cool project to work on. :-)
Last semester we also implemented something with SFML for the same class: a simulation where you have different colonies of ants (from different anthills). The workers have to find food and bring it back to their home using pheromones to find their way while the soldiers attack and kill ants from other colonies. We also added termites that attacked any kind of ants. Quite interesting to do, too.
And I recently had the confirmation that we will use SFML again next year. :)
