Well this is interesting ...

Then lets think about it..
If they could harness the energy of a star, a little planet soaked in fosile fules would be of zero interest.   Similarly, why would our star be interesting to them when there would be plenty they could take that were closer and probably not supporting life.   
Nope..if they came here, their interest would definitely be in us.   Probably for study, just hopefully not by a cooking school.

      Well, they man know a planet exists in the
        habitable zone and be able to see that it has life (oxygen
        atmosphere is a dead giveaway).  They wouldn't know if it was
        technologically based.  That they will find out in a little less
        than 1500 years time since we only started putting out enough
        radio signal about 50 years ago.  Give them a little time to
        respond, and I'd say we'd see them knocking on our door in ~4500
        years.  We we have some time to get our shit together I'd say. 

      
    
    

    If they can plug their iPods into an entire
      freakin star I doubt they need to wait for radio waves to detect
      anything ...

        The question is, of course, if they did come here...what
          would their purpose be.  Lets just hope it would be a benign
          curiosity.

    Urgh ... not sure I wanna think about that to be honest.
