Repairing Stereo - Capacitor Question

I've recently found out that the ceramic capacitor on my stereo burnt out causing other fuses to burn out also. I've replaced the fuses and now I need to replace the ceramic capacitor.

On the capacitor it reads 104M AEC, but I think the more important part is the 104M.
To replace the capacitor, does the new capacitor have to be a 104M also or can it be just a regular 104?

Thanks.
 
The value is in pF with the last digit being the number of zeros so 104 is 10,0000pF which is 100nF.

I Googled for what M means and it's just the tolerance which is 20% so don't worry ebout that.

The only important thing is the voltage rating which you'll have to guess by looking at the votlage ratings of the other capacitors in the circuit.
