Featuring, Versus, And,....???

Can someone tell me what the difference is between featuring, versus, and &. Like in these tracks:

Delerium Featuring Leigh Nash - Innocente
ATB Featuring York - Fields Of Love

&

Blank & Jones - Nightclubbing
Energy & Tatana - End Of Time

&

Dumonde vs. Lange - Memory
Parisi vs. Woods - Dramatic Feelings

Hope some1 can tell me,

Cheers

They are all the same, just a coop with two people

The only difference is that with "&" the people form a duo (always together)
the other two are cooperation of two different producers or singers

"Featuring" usually mentions whoever will be there to perform the vocals. Also could just mean who is producing the track.

"&" usually just means they are producing together, and its nothing otu of the ordinary.

"versus" either means that someone resurrected an old song and did a take on it, or used a vocal sample from an old song, or even made a bootleg. It could also mean that 2 producers got together to make the song normally.

& = when it's common for the two to make a track together.

vs. = when it's not common, kind of like a clash of titans. (Flutlicht vs. S.H.O.K.K.)

feat. = where it's clearly one person's track, and the other person is just helping with it, providing support or vocals.
