i was also paranoid, download ansave the iso then all you need to do is drag and drop it onto a blank cd and boot from it on the pc it wont install anything unless you tell it to from the live cd

are you using virtual box?
also if you havent installed you may want to have a look at linux mint, its ubuntu but with all the media codecs pre-installed and it comes with amarok music player.
