No! You must purchase the programming cable (which most of them come with software and drivers, but I have had no luck with the included software or drivers)-some of these come with the software however most have found that it does not work-most have searched the internet and downloaded software called "Chirp" this software seems to work with most all radios on the market. be warned that the programming cables don't seem to work with Window 8

You will need to buy a cable to connect it to the computer(i used this one and the driver that was included, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007R21P7Q/ref=oh_details_o03_s01_i00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1) and the bf-480 software from baofeng's website (http://www.baofengradio.com/en/services.asp?BigClassName=Programming%20Software).

I use the free CHIRP software. Very easy, works perfectly. Note: import radio settings from radio into the software first then change the settings, and save and upload back into the radios.

No this does not come with software. Avaiable softwart is from the 409shop and is free, BF-480. It is a little testy to set up, make sure that you choose the english version and the correct interrupt for the cable required, also available on e-bay or the 409 shop. There are plenty of youtube videos available to help with programming and setting frequencies, etc.Rudi

Software is a free download on the yahoo groups. Just go to yahoo groups and search BF-888S. Goto: "http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BF-888S/" for everything you need to know about BF-888S's.

No. Free software can be located online. You should get the connector cable.

I bought this as a gift so I'm not sure if it came with any software. Sorry

It doesn't. You need to boot into windows to use the programming software. It didn't work for me under VMWare.

No, the only I found how to program them is by googling it or looking up a tutorial on YouTube. All I got was a small price of paper in some other forein language. Hope this helps

This turntable does come with software. Just burn them to CD and then burn that CD to your music player.

No you do not have to have the software. It does make it b faster to program especially if you have more than once unit. Make sure you get the programming cable if you get the software

I sent it as a gift out of state but I believe it comes with some software but does not interface with a computer, only othereapfrog products.

No it doesn't. I had to buy an external usb dvd drive to load software. Other than that, the machine works fine.

Yes, it does have a manual, however, my computer doesn't want to accept the programming disc. Good luck.

I think it comes with a CD so I would install the software on it. It has been awhile since I set mine up.

It did not come with any software, but for $65 we were able to download the software my daughter wanted.

It does not come with any software. I had to borrow my friends OS X 10.6 software to get that operating system onto the computer

No software is included with this peripheral, so I do not think it is programmable.

No it doesn't come with software. You'll have to find your own. Try CD Burner XP for a free burning programme on Windows, K3b or Brasero on Linux.

Sadly no, when you get the programmer it will come with a very detailed list of instructions. I advise putting in the three tunes it can hold and you are good to go from there. It's very self explanatory after reading it a couple times.

There is not, but I decompile the downloadable code and created a dll of commands and a command-line interface for it. I would be happy to share it.
